Abstract
We propose that the anomalous output conductance in N-polar GaN MIS-HEMTs was caused by ionization of donor-like traps from a net negative polarization interface. It is a low-frequency phenomenon that changes the VT of the device with VD, while no evidence of increased output conductance or related device performance degradation was found under RF conditions. Appropriate back-barrier designs are needed to mitigate the DC-GDS in N-polar GaN MIS-HEMTs.
