  • Abstract
    The same traps that produce current collapse in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors are also shown to limit the sheet charge that is attainable in these devices by the trapping of channel carriers at equilibrium (no applied bias). In the present case, this reduction in sheet charge was found comparable to that induced by current collapse
