A clean surface is critical for enhancing device performance and long-term reliability. By experimenting with different surface treatment methods, we find that using UV/ozone treatment significantly influences the electrical properties of Ohmic contacts and Schottky contacts. According to these experimental phenomena and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy surface analysis results, the effect of the UV/ozone treatment and the reason that it influences the Ohmic/Schottky contact characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs is investigated.展开更多
