摘要:
The interface resistance between the source/drain and gate of an HFET may be significantly reduced by engineering the bandgap of the 2DEG outside a gate region such that the charge density is substantially increased. The resistance may be further reduced by using an n+GaN Cap layer over the channel layer and barrier layer such that a horizontal surface of the barrier layer beyond the gate region is covered by the n+GaN Cap layer. This technique is applicable to depletion and enhancement mode HFETs.

The present invention relates to fabrication of enhancement mode and depletion mode High Electron Mobility Field Effect Transistors on the same die separated by as little as 10 nm. The fabrication method uses selective decomposition and selective regrowth of the Barrier layer and the Cap layer to engineer the bandgap of a region on a die to form an enhancement mode region. In these regions zero or more devices may be fabricated.
