Carrier conduction in SiO<inf>2</inf>/GaN structure with abrupt interface

Description

A monolithic GaN power integrated circuit (IC) with power devices, logic, drive, and protection circuits is a candidate system for a future low power consumption power IC. Formation of a high quality GaN MOS interface is a key for realizing the GaN Power IC. Although a good interface property of a SiO 2 /GaN structure have already reported[1], the SiO 2 /GaN structure has obvious interfacial Ga-oxide layer. On the other hand, we have established to form a SiO 2 /GaN interface without an obvious interfacial layer and with a low interface trap density (D It )[2]. However, carrier conduction in the SiO 2 /GaN structure with the abrupt interface has not yet been investigated. In this study, characteristics of current density (J) vs oxide field (E ox ) in the SiO 2 layers formed by the remote-oxygen- plasma enhanced CVD (ROPE-CVD) on a GaN surface were investigated through comparisons of J-E ox characteristics between GaN and Si MOS capacitors.
