摘要
In the paper, the behavior of AlGaN/GaN HEMT-type heterostructures in a water solution of (KOH + HCl) with differing pH was studied. The influence of the electrolyte pH on channel pinch-off voltage was measured using impedance spectroscopy methods. It was observed that the change of the pH of electrolyte has a strong effect on the pinch-off voltage of AlGaN/GaN HEMT-type heterostructures independently of the concentration of other ions. In high-pH environment the so-called memory effect of heterostructures was revealed. Its possible origin was discussed. A general theory to explain all results was proposed.
