Abstract
Metal–oxide–semiconductor high‐electron‐mobility transistors were demonstrated on AlGaN/GaN with electron beam (EB) evaporated ZrO~2~. The composition of the EB deposited ZrO~2~ thin films was confirmed using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The fabricated ZrO~2~‐based MOSHEMTs exhibited high positive gate voltage of operation up to +7 V with low gate leakage current. For a comparison, conventional high‐electron‐mobility transistors (HEMTs) were also fabricated with identical device dimensions. The maximum drain current densities of 1168 and 538 mA/mm were observed on MOSHEMTs and HEMTs, respectively. Low gate leakage current density of four orders of magnitude was observed on ZrO~2~‐based MOSHEMTs when compared with the conventional HEMTs. The observation of high forward on‐voltage with low gate leakage current density and high positive operational voltage reveals the importance of ZrO~2~ dielectric films for MOSHEMT devices.

## Abstract We report on the fabrication of AlGaN/GaN double‐insulator MOSHEMTs using SiO~2~ and SiN as the prime gate insulators. Both the dielectrics showed enhanced saturation current density and pinch‐off voltage compared to conventional HEMTs. The SiO~2~/SiN/AlGaN/GaN MOSHEMTs exhibited a low
