摘要: Abstract An AlGaN/GaN HEMT was irradiated with 5 MeV protons at a dose up to 2×10 15 /cm 2 . Photoluminescence spectra measured 5 K indicated that GaN lattice severely damaged by collisions high energy although distinct near band-edge features were still observable. I DS – V measurement showed the current level decreased 43% after proton irradiation, and an GS suggested damage metal-contact/AlGaN interface minimal. Transistor operation found be resistant which partially attributed self-healing mechanism in proximity interface.
