    摘要: An MOS device is formed including a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, and source and drain regions of a second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer proximate an upper surface of the semiconductor layer. The source and drain regions are spaced apart relative to one another. A drift region of the second conductivity type is formed in the semiconductor layer proximate the upper surface of the semiconductor layer and at least partially between the source and drain regions, the drift region having an impurity doping concentration greater than about 2.0e12 atoms/cm2. An insulating layer is formed on at least a portion of the upper surface of the semiconductor layer. The device further includes a gate formed on the insulating layer at least partially between the source and drain regions, and a buried layer of the first conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer in close relative proximity to and beneath at least a portion of the drift region. A substantially vertical distance between the buried layer and the drift region, and/or one or more physical dimensions of the buried layer are configured so as to optimize a power density of the device relative to at least one of an on-resistance and a maximum drain current of the device.

    摘要: A field effect transistor configured for use in high power applications and a method for its fabrication is disclosed. The field effect transistor is formed of III-V materials and is configured to have a breakdown voltage that is advantageous for high power applications. The field effect transistor is so configured by determining the operating voltage and the desired breakdown voltage for that operating voltage. A peak electric field is then identified that is associated with the operating voltage and desired breakdown voltage. The device is then configured to exhibit the identified peak electric field at that operating voltage. The device is so configured by selecting device features that control the electrical potential in the device drift region is achieved. These features include the use of an overlapping gate or field plate in conjunction with a barrier layer overlying the device channel, or a p-type pocket formed in a region of single-crystal III-V material formed under the device channel. The overlapping gate/field plate or p-type pocket extend into the drift region of the device, controlling the electrical potential of the device in a manner that provides the desired control of the electrical potential in the drift region.
