摘要
AlGaN surface potentials in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures with and without SiN passivation were investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). SiN films were formed on AlGaN surfaces by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD), which has already been found to increase two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) density. Based on a simple electrostatic analysis, the 2DEG density is expected to increase as the AlGaN surface potential decreases. This study experimentally demonstrates that a reduction in the AlGaN surface potential is actually induced by Cat-CVD SiN passivation. (C) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
