Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We investigated effects of surface oxidation by annealing during device process on AlGaN surface barrier height of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures by Hall measurement and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
%
From AlGaN thickness dependence of two-dimensional electron gas density and XPS analysis, a constant surface barrier height regardless of AlGaN thickness was obtained for the samples annealed at 800{${\rm {}^{\circ}\mbox{C}}$}.
%
On the other hand, the samples annealed at 400{${\rm {}^{\circ}\mbox{C}}$} showed a proportional increase in the height with the thickness.
%
Moreover, XPS peak intensity related to Al--O bonding significantly increased after annealing at 800{${\rm {}^{\circ}\mbox{C}}$} regardless of atmosphere and saturated in a short time, even though it changed little after annealing at 400{${\rm {}^{\circ}\mbox{C}}$} compared with before annealing.
%
We consider from the experimental results and their correlation that Al oxide structure formed on the AlGaN surface significantly affects energy distribution and density of surface donors.
