AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) were fabricated and the effect of ${N_2}O$ plasma on the electrical characteristics of the devices was investigated. The HEMT exposed to ${N_2}O$ plasma formed by 40 W of RF power in a chamber with pressure of 20 mTorr at a temperature of $200^{circ}C$, exhibited a reduction of gate leakage current from 246 nA to 1.2 pA by 10 seconds treatment. The current between the two isolated active regions reduced from 3 uA to 7 nA and the sheet resistance of the active layer was lowered also. The variations of electrical characteristics for HEMT were occurred within a short time expose of 10 seconds and the successive expose did not influence on the improvements of gate leakage characteristics and conductivity of the active region. The reduced leakage current level was not varied by successive $SiO_2$ deposition and its removal. The transconductnace and drain current of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs were increased also by the expose to the ${N_2}O$ plasma.
