This study applied amethodology for defining the threshold voltage shift (ΔV < inf > TH) transient of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) to observe the influence of traps in AlGaN/GaN HFETs with different buffer layers: a carbon-doped (C-doped) buffer and an Al < inf > 0.05 Ga < inf > 0.95 N back barrier layer. This methodology involves synchronous switching of gate-to-source voltage (V < inf > GS) and drain-to-source voltage (V < inf > DS). Two HFETs demonstrated similar transient behaviors but different trends by enduring various V < inf > DS stress level. For devices with a C-doped buffer layer, the amount of threshold voltage shift becomes saturated with increasing V < inf > DS stress; however, a device with an Al < inf > 0.05 Ga < inf > 0.95 N back barrier layer does not. A simulation tool was used to analyze the trap behaviors and close agreement was seen between measured and simulated.
