Abstract(in English) In AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, we used a thermal CVD SiN surface passivation film for suppressing the current collapse due to AlGaN surface level. We expected that the AlGaN surface state could be improved by the thermal CVD passivation film because of its low hydrogen content and high density. NH_3 surface cleaning of 800℃ before SiN film deposition is also effective for improving AlGaN surface state. In this study we investigated the effect of the passivation film's quality on the electrical characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. As a result of our experiment, we found that gate leakage current and current collapse was suppressed by using the thermal CVD SiN passivation film.
