Abstract(in English) We reported the threshold voltage (V_) shift phenomena of insulated-gate GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) for power applications. To reduce the V_ shift, we clarified the origins of the electron traps which cause the V_ shift by focusing on atomic layer deposited (ALD)-Al_2O_3 and GaN/Al_2O_3 interface. Furthermore, the effects of ALD oxidant sources and post deposition annealing (PDA) on the V_ shift were investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to analyze the ALD-Al_2O_3 and the GaN/Al_2O_3 interface. We clarified that the origins of the electron traps were Al(OH)_x in the ALD-Al_2O_3 and the GaN oxidation layer at the GaN/Al_2O_3 interface. Moreover, it was revealed that Al(OH)_x could be reduced by high temperature PDA, and the GaN oxidation layer could be reduced by using H_2O vapor oxidant source. From these methods, we successfully reduced the V_ shift of insulated-gate GaN-HEMT.
