Abstract:
A nitride based heterojunction semiconductor device includes a GaN layer on a substrate, an Al-doped GaN layer on the GaN layer, an AlGaN layer on the Al-doped GaN layer, a source electrode, a gate electrode, and a drain electrode on the AlGaN layer, a first field plate on the AlGaN layer, the first field plate being in contact with the gate electrode, and a second field plate on the AlGaN layer, the second field plate being separated from the first field plate by a distance.
Abstract:
Provided is a power device. The power device may include a two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) layer in a portion corresponding to a gate electrode pattern since a second nitride layer is further formed on a lower portion of the gate electrode pattern after a first nitride layer is formed and thus, may be capable of performing a normally-OFF operation. Accordingly, the power device may adjust generation of the 2-DEG layer based on a voltage of a gate, and may reduce power consumption. The power device may regrow only the portion corresponding to the gate electrode pattern or may etch a portion excluding the portion corresponding to the gate electrode pattern and thus, a recess process may be omissible, a reproducibility of the power device may be secured, and a manufacturing process may be simplified.
Abstract:
With the formation of a SixC1-xN functional layer on a barrier layer, a nitride based semiconductor device may improve a surface roughness of the barrier layer, and may reduce a surface leakage current by, for example, inhibiting aluminum (Al) and oxygen (O) from combining with each other on the barrier layer. In addition, when compared to a structure in which a barrier layer and an electrode directly contact each other, a barrier may be relatively low in a structure in which the SixC1-xN functional layer is formed between the barrier layer and the electrode. Accordingly, an operating voltage may be lowered to increase a current density.
