Abstract(in English) Our aim is to investigate the effects of dry etching of AlGaN surface on interface properties of GaN-based MOS structure. ICP-assisted plasma with Cl_2/BCl_3 gas mixture was used for the dry etching. After the dry etching, we fabricated an Al_2O_3-insulated gate on AlGaN/GaN surface by atomic layer depositon (ALD). To characterize the interface properties of Al_2O_3/AlGaN, we performed standard capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements and photo-assisted method. The lager threshold voltage shift due to the photo-assisted electron emission indicated that the ICP etching leads to an increase the Al_2O_3/AlGaN interface states density. From the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we observed that the ICP process induced the nitrogen vacancy at the AlGaN surface, causing high-density of electron states at Al_2O_3/AlGaN interface.
