Gated transmission line model pattern measurements of the transient current–voltage characteristics of AlGaN/GaN heterostructurefield-effect transistors(HFETs) and metal–oxide–semiconductor HFETs were made to develop a phenomenological model for current collapse. Our measurements show that, under pulsed gate bias, the current collapse results from increased source–gate and gate–drain resistances but not from the channel resistance under the gate. We propose a model linking this increase in series resistances (and, therefore, the current collapse) to a decrease in piezoelectriccharge resulting from the gate bias-induced nonuniform strain in the AlGaN barrier layer.

The low frequency noise in GaNfield effect transistors has been studied as function of drain and gate biases. The noise dependence on the gate bias points out to the bulk origin of the low frequency noise. The Hooge parameter is found to be around 2×10−3 to 3×10−3.Temperature dependence of the noise reveals a weak contribution of generation–recombination noise at elevated temperatures.
