abstract = {In recent years, investigating and engineering the
oxide-semiconductor interface in GaN-based devices has come
into focus. This has been driven by a large effort to
increase the gate robustness and to obtain enhancement mode
transistors. Since it has been shown that deep interface
states act as fixed interface charge in the typical
transistor operating regime, it appears desirable to
intentionally incorporate negative interface charge, and
thus, to allow for a positive shift in threshold voltage of
transistors to realise enhancement mode behaviour. A rather
new approach to obtain such negative charge is the
plasma-oxidation of thin metal layers. In this study, we
present transmission electron microscopy and energy
dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis as well as electrical
data for Al-, Ti-, and Zr-based thin oxide films on a
GaN-based heterostructure. It is shown that the
plasma-oxidised layers have a polycrystalline morphology. An
interfacial amorphous oxide layer is only detectable in the
case of Zr. In addition, all films exhibit net negative
charge with varying densities. The Zr layer is providing a
negative interface charge density of more than
1 × 1013 cm–2 allowing to considerably shift the
threshold voltage to more positive values.},
