Positive substrate bias resulted in a reduction in channel current, attributed to negative charge storage in the buffer, resulting in up to a >50% reduction in the 2-D electron gas (2DEG) channel density. The dynamics of the accumulated charge was investigated using recovery transients after substrate bias stress, with recovery times >1000 s for substrate stress bias >+200 V. The recovery time was reduced significantly with the application of a negative substrate bias of short duration, immediately following the positive substrate bias stress. A comprehensive explanation is presented, which requires a detailed understanding of the transport (both ohmic and non-ohmic) through each of the layers in the epitaxial stack.Journal article10.1109/TED.2025.3571004WOS:001504196800001
