Abstract(in English) In this study, two types of single AlN on Si substrates were grown using different growth conditions. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to compare the surface conditions, and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) was employed to determine the crystal quality. HEMT structures using each of the single AlN layers as an initial AlN layer were grown. Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) were used to observe the surface and the dislocation of each of the HEMT samples. The vertical direction leakage current characteristics of each HEMT sample were measured using a semiconductor parameter analyzer. As a result, Surface pit density of the HEMT structure has strong correlation with a vertical direction leakage current of the HEMT structure and crystallinity of the initial AlN layer. Threading dislocations of the HEMT structure is generated from the initial AlN layer, dislocations forming the surface pits was mixed dislocations. From these results, it is presumed that a mixed dislocation of the HEMT structure is the path of the vertical direction leakage current. For the vertical direction leakage current reduction in the AlGaN / GaN HEMT structure on Si substrate, it is presumed that crystallinity improvement of the initial AlN layer is effective.
