Abstract(in English) One issue in improving amplifier performance using GaN is evaluating the characteristics of traps. In this study, we evaluated the Fe-induced trap using a low-frequency$Y$parameter which is consistent with the circuit design. We compared the frequency characteristics of low-frequency $Y_{22}$ signals using GaN HEMTs with different Fe concentrations in the GaN layers. As a result, it was confirmed that only the peak in the low-frequency region changed depending on Fe concentration and that Fe trap has been observed in the imaginary part of low-frequency $Y_{22}$. Furthermore, we measured the dependence on the drain voltage under ON-state, and the peak frequency (time constant) of the traps shifted to a high-frequency region as the drain voltage increased, but the shifting amount was independent of Fe concentration. On the other hand, the drain voltage dependence of the amplitude of the trap peaks had a maximum value near the knee voltage and was larger in the GaN HEMT with higher Fe concentration. Therefore, it is considered that the linearity may be degraded when the output signal through near the knee voltage. In addition, the amplitude of the trap peaks is considered to increase in the case of a higher Fe concentration because of the narrowing of the depletion layer.
