Abstract

For investigation of surface leakage currrent of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures through etched GaN buffer surface and mesa wall, three kind of surface-leakage-test-patterns were fabricated. and we measured the surface leakage current of each patterns. In result of our work, the surface leakage current of pattern of which Schottky contact is formed on etched mesa wall is the largest. the leakage current through schottky contact on etched mesa wall is predominant in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures.
