Abstract

Local dC/dV spectroscopy performed in a SCM was used to quantify and map the threshold voltage distribution in an AlGa-N/GaN HFET structure. Small round features were attributed to the effect of the electrostatic potential of charged threading dislocations that cause localized reduction or depletion of carriers from the 2DEG. An analytical model and simulations of electrostatic potential and electron concentration were compared and used to explain the observed features.
