Popis: In this paper, static measurements and defect analysis performed on InAlAs/InGaAs/InP HFETs are presented. I d – V ds – T , I d – V gs – T and I g – V gs – T characteristics show anomalies (leakage current, degradation in saturation current, kink effect, distortions on I d – V d characteristics in saturation region after high voltage application, …). Deep defects analysis performed by means of capacitance transient spectroscopy (C-DLTS) and frequency dispersion of the output conductance ( G ds ( f )) prove the presence of deep defects with activation energies ranging from 0.12 to 0.75 eV. The presence of generation–recombination centers, acting like traps, is confirmed by I g – V gs . The localization and the identification of these defects are presented. Finally, the correlation between the anomalies observed on output characteristics and defects is discussed.
