Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We reported the threshold voltage (Vth) shift phenomena of insulated-gate GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) for power applications. To reduce the Vth shift, we clarified the origins of the electron traps which cause the Vth shift by focusing on atomic layer deposited (ALD)-Al2O3 and GaN/Al2O3 interface. Furthermore, the effects of ALD oxidant sources and post deposition annealing (PDA) on the Vth shift were investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to analyze the ALD-Al2O3 and the GaN/Al2O3 interface. We clarified that the origins of the electron traps were Al(OH)x in the ALD-Al2O3 and the GaN oxidation layer at the GaN/Al2O3 interface. Moreover, it was revealed that Al(OH)x could be reduced by high temperature PDA, and the GaN oxidation layer could be reduced by using H2O vapor oxidant source. From these methods, we successfully reduced the Vth shift of insulated-gate GaN-HEMT.
