摘要:
A GaN-type field effect transistor exhibits a large input amplitude by using a gate insulating film. A channel layer and a gate insulating film are sequentially laminated on a substrate with a buffer layer therebetween. A gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating film. A source electrode and a drain electrode are disposed at the both sides of the gate electrode and are electrically connected to the channel layer via openings. The channel layer is formed from n-type GaN. The gate insulating film is made from AlN, which exhibits excellent insulation characteristics, thus increasing the Schottky barrier and achieving a large input amplitude. If the FET is operated in the enhancement mode, it is operable in a manner similar to a Si-MOS-type FET, resulting in the formation of an inversion layer.

A new and improved method for growing a p-type nitride III-V compound semiconductor is provided which can produce a p-type nitride compound semiconductors having a high carrier concentration, without the need for annealing to activate impurities after growth. In a preferred embodiment, a p-type nitride compound semiconductor, such as p-type GaN, is grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition methods using a nitrogen source material which does not release hydrogen during release of nitrogen and the semiconductor is grown in an inactive gas. The nitrogen source materials may be selected from nitrogen compounds that contain hydrogen radicals groups and alkyl radicals groups and/or phenyl radicals groups provided that the total amount of hydrogen radicals groups is less than or equal to the sum total of alkyl radicals groups and phenyl radicals groups present in the nitrogen compound used as the nitrogen source material.
摘要:
It is intended to provide a semiconductor device and its manufacturing method in which a high-resistance region maintaining a high resistance even under high temperatures can be made in a nitride III-V compound semiconductor layer having an electric conductivity by ion implantation. After a nitride III-V compound semiconductor layer having an electric conductivity is grown, a high resistance region is formed in the nitride III-V compound semiconductor layer by locally implanting boron ions therein. The amount of implanted boron is preferably not less than {fraction (1/30)}, or more preferably not less than {fraction (1/15)}, of the carrier concentration of the nitride III-V compound semiconductor layer. The high-resistance region is used as a device isolating region of an electron moving device or as a current blocking layer of a semiconductor laser.
