Abstract
We present a comprehensive study of bias temperature instability (BTI) in GaN MOSFETs under moderate positive and negative gate bias stress. We investigate the evolution of threshold voltage (V T ), maximum transconductance (g m,max ), and subthreshold swing (S). Our results show a universal continuous, symmetrical, and reversible VT shift and gm,max change as gate stress voltage (VGS,stress) increases from -5 to 5V at room temperature. The time evolution of V T is well described by a power law model. The voltage dependence, time dependence, and temperature dependence of our results suggest that for moderate gate bias stress, positive BTI and negative BTI are due to a single reversible mechanism. This is electron trapping/detrapping in preexisting oxide traps that form a defect band very close to the GaN/oxide interface and extend in energy beyond the conduction band edge of GaN and below the Fermi level at the channel surface at 0 V.
