Impact of Defects on the Low-Field Electron Mobility in GaN-on-Si HEMTs by Ran Zhou, D. J. Gravesteijn, R. J. E. Hueting

“…This suggests that the relatively high dislocation density in the GaN layer, which is a consequence of the still imperfect buffer layer in the GaN-on-Si substrate that is used to accommodate the strain difference, has an impact on <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$N_{\textrm {it}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, thus subthreshold swing, in addition to the mobility reduction.…”
