| Research Abstract |
Nitride-based materials and devices were fabricated and characterized in order to realize power devices with low loss and structure the associated semiconductor physics. The obtained results are described as follows. First, the correlation between defects in the AlGaN/GaN hetero-interfaces and device performances was characterized using deep level optical spectroscopy. As a result, malfunction of devices was found to relate to particular defect levels in the AlGaN/GaN hetero-interfaces. Second, influence of hydrogen on the device performances was characterized. As a result, property of the metal/semiconductor interfaces was found to play a critical role in device performances.
