  • Abstract
    This paper analyses the deep level states in AlGaN/GaN layer systems. These deep levels act as traps and influence the electrical properties of HEMTs, that are fabricated with these layers. With the use of photocurrent measurements of RoundHEMTs, we could identify electron traps with energy levels of /spl sim/2.7 eV and /spl sim/3.2 eV. Furthermore, optical quenching could be found in the energy range of 1.24-2.25 eV.
