In this paper we review the effect of the bulk GaN dopants, which are added to ensure a highly resistive buffer, on the current-collapse which occurs on switching from the off-state to the on-state. The iron doping frequently used in RF devices leads to a trap level in the upper half of the gap which generates a small, reproducible, and straightforwardly modelled current-collapse. On the other hand the carbon doping used in many power devices results in current-collapse which can be large but is strongly impacted by the presence of leaky threading dislocations. A powerful technique to characterise the buffer and extract the vertical leakage in the different layers within a GaN-n-Si power HEMT based on ramping the substrate bias is introduced.","PeriodicalId":313866,"journal":{"name":"The Tenth International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132775101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
