摘要：
In this article, a combined approach of experimentation and simulation is adopted to study the effects of radiation-induced defects on the electrical properties of GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) under 6-MeV chlorine ion irradiation. Through electrical performance and current deep-level transient spectroscopy (I-DLTS) testing, the evolution of defect from V-N - V-N (+1/+2) and Fe-Ga to Fe-Ga- V(N )is observed with increasing irradiation fluence. When the fluence exceeds 5x10(10) ions/cm(2), the concentration of Fe-Ga- V(N )defects reaches saturation due to the limitation of the Fe-Ga concentration, which is reflected in the changes to the peak G(M) . The FeGa- VN defect is confirmed as a primary factor contributing to electrical degradation in the 2-D electron gas (2DEG) conductivity of the GaN-HEMTs.
