Abstract AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown on Fe-modulation-doped (MD) and unintentionally doped (UID) GaN buffer layers are investigated and compared. Highly resistive GaN buffers (10^9Ω·cm) are induced by individual mechanisms for the electron traps' formation: the Fe MD buffer (sample A) and the UID buffer with high density of edge-type dislocations (7.24×10^9cm^-2, sample B). The 300K Hall test indicates that the mobility of sample A with Fe doping (2503cm^2V^-1s^-1) is much higher than sample B (1926cm^2V^-1s^-1) due to the decreased scattering effect on the two-dimensional electron gas. HEMT devices are fabricated on the two samples and pulsed I–V measurements are conducted. Device A shows better gate pinch-off characteristics and a higher threshold voltage (-2.63V) compared with device B (-3.71V). Lower gate leakage current |IGS| of device A (3.32×10^-7A) is present compared with that of device B (8.29×10^-7A). When the off-state quiescent points Q_2 (V GQ2=-8V, V DQ2=0V) are on, V th hardly shifts for device A while device B shows +0.21V positive threshold voltage shift, resulting from the existence of electron traps associated with the dislocations in the UID-GaN buffer layer under the gate. Under pulsed I–V and transconductance G m–V GS measurement, the device with the Fe MD-doped buffer shows more potential in improving reliability upon off-state stress.
