Abstract
Atomic layer deposited Al2O3/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) diodes with and without post-metallization annealing (PMA) were irradiated with gamma-rays. Capacitance–voltage measurements were made before and after irradiation to investigate trap formation in Al2O3 films and interface states between Al2O3 and GaN. Negative flat-band voltage shifts were observed. The flat-band voltage shift depends on the Al2O3 thickness, showing different distributions of gamma-ray-induced positive charges for samples with and without PMA. The interface state density of the PMA sample slightly increased after irradiation, but was lower than that of the sample without PMA before irradiation.
