Abstract

We investigated the relation between photoluminescence and current collapse of AlGaN/GaN HEMT wafers grown on silicon substrates. A very good correlation between yellow luminescence intensity and current collapse was found. By optimizing the growth condition to diminish the intensity of yellow luminescence, we obtained AlGaN/GaN HEMT wafers with very small current collapse. It is concluded that the yellow luminescence should be utilized as a very useful index for improving the wafer quality.
