41 The free AlGaN surface Measurement of surface potential - indicates existence of surface states Why should surface states exist? Polarization effects Surface states give rise to 2DEG Surface states also give current collapse - passivation
42 Current Collapse Concept of Virtual Gate Q. How can traps affect device characteristics? Directly trapping electrons in the channel i.e depleting the 2DEG density (collapse should not be affected by surface treatment) OR Trapping charge elsewhere, creating a potential barrier to current flow (a virtual gate, spatially distinct from the metal gate) OR Trapping charge underneath the metal gate, effectively changing the gate bias. (pinch-off voltage changes, collapse should not depend on surface treatment) ( V P =q. n s / C AlGaN )
43 Current Collapse Effect of Surface Traps Polarization Dipole is Charge Neutral Surface Donors 2 DEG E F S G D Electrons can be injected from the gate into the very donor states that provide channel electrons.

60 Conclusions Existence of a polarization dipole induces surface donor-like states Surface donors give rise to the 2DEG Surface donor states accept electrons making surface potential negative Accumulation of negative charge in gate drain region creates a virtual gate The spatial extent and potential of the virtual gate depends on bias and drive conditions Current collapse is due to inability to modulate the virtual gate Passivating the surface prevents formation of virtual gate, hence reducing current collapse
