Threshold voltage instability due to positive bias stress in GaN planer MOSFETs was investigated. Gate dielec- tric (SiO2) was formed by remote-plasma-assisted chemi- cal vapor deposition on homoepitaxial Mg-doped p-tye GaN. The threshold voltage shift was 5.8 V at a stress volt- age of 30 V for the sample without post-deposition anneal (PDA), while the threshold voltage shift was significantly reduced to 1.4 V for the sample with PDA at 800°C for 30 min. Stress time dependences up to 6000 s were measured, revealing that the main origin of threshold voltage shift is electron trapping into near interfaces traps.
