stacks to fabricate GaN-based metal–insulator–semiconductor HEMTs on silicon. To confirm the quality of the interface between the dielectric and GaN, measurements were carried out that


showed a low interface density of states (1012 cm–2 eV–1). The transistors exhibited a low subthreshold swing of 70 mV dec−1 because of the small effective oxide thickness (2 nm) of the


oxide layers. Compared with transistors based on other gate dielectric materials, the bilayer dielectric stacks result in a lower gate leakage of 10−12 A mm−1. This is a preview of
