Abstract(in English) Degradation of electrical characteristics due to etching damage during formation of recess structure has been an issue for normally-off type AlGaN/GaN MIS-HFETs with recessed gate structure using ALD-SiO2/Al2O3 double insulator. In order to improve the I/S interface after etching, we have fabricated MIS-HFETs with HCl and annealing treatments and evaluated the electrical properties. We confirmed that the RMS of the etched surface decreased to almost the same value as that before etching by the surface treatment combining HCl treatment and 500℃ annealing. Furthermore, ΔVth decreased to 0.56 V. In this study, we investigated the temperature dependence of Ig and found that the Ig was reduced by two orders of magnitude by the surface treatment and the Ig was suppressed under 5.6×10-6 mA/mm even by increasing the temperature up to 200℃. We confirmed that the surface treatment by HCl and annealing treatments is effective for the etching surface, and it is possible to fabricate devices with reduced etching damage.
