    摘要: A nitride-based FET device that provides reduced electron trapping and gate current leakage. The device includes a relatively thick passivation layer to reduce traps caused by device processing and a thin passivation layer below the gate terminal to reduce gate current leakage. The device includes semiconductor device layers deposited on a substrate. A plurality of passivation layers are deposited on the semiconductor device layers, where at least two of the layers are made of a different dielectric material to provide an etch stop. One or more of the passivation layers can be removed using the interfaces between the layers as an etch stop so that the distance between the gate terminal and the semiconductor device layers can be tightly controlled, where the distance can be made very thin to increase device performance and reduce gate current leakage.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a T-gate HEMT with a club extension comprising the steps of: providing a substrate; providing a bi-layer resist on the substrate; exposing an area of the bi-layer resist to electron beam lithography where the area corresponds to a T-gate opening; exposing an area of the bi-layer resist to electron beam lithography where the area corresponds to the shape of the club extension wherein the area corresponding to the club extension is approximately 1 micron to an ohmic source side of a T-gate and approximately 0.5 microns forward from a front of the T-gate; developing out the bi-layer resist in the exposed area that corresponds to the T-gate opening; developing out the bi-layer resist in the exposed area that corresponds to the club extension; and forming the T-gate and club extension through a metallization process.

    摘要: A III-N semiconductor device that includes a substrate and a nitride channel layer including a region partly beneath a gate region, and two channel access regions on opposite sides of the part beneath the gate. The channel access regions may be in a different layer from the region beneath the gate. The device includes an AlXN layer adjacent the channel layer wherein X is gallium, indium or their combination, and a preferably n-doped GaN layer adjacent the AlXN layer in the areas adjacent to the channel access regions. The concentration of Al in the AlXN layer, the AlXN layer thickness and the n-doping concentration in the n-doped GaN layer are selected to induce a 2DEG charge in channel access regions without inducing any substantial 2DEG charge beneath the gate, so that the channel is not conductive in the absence of a switching voltage applied to the gate.
