field-effect transistors (HFETs) on the inner current transport at the heterointerfaces. The
analysis on transient currents for the air-exposed and H 2-plasma-treated devices showed
that N-vacancy-related near-surface traps play an important role in current collapse in
AlGaN/GaN HFETs. An Al 2 O 3-based surface passivation scheme including an N 2-plasma
surface treatment was proposed and applied to an insulated-gate HFET. A large conduction …
