Abstract(in English) In this paper, we report the effects of MOS interfacial oxidation on electrical properties of GaN MOSFET and show improved electrical properties with formation process of GaN/SiO2 MOS interface suppressing interfacial oxidation. It is confirmed that interfacial oxidation layer on GaN surface can cause degradation in channel mobility and post-annealing threshold voltage. In order to suppress interfacial oxidation, we attempt silicon oxynitride film deposition on GaN surface before SiO2 deposition. XPS analysis clarify that this deposition process can suppress oxidation at MOS interface. GaN MOSFET applied this deposition process show significant improvement of post-annealing threshold voltage and relatively high channel mobility. Thus, suppressing GaOx is essential for high performance.
