摘要:
In a group III nitride-type field effect transistor, the present invention reduces a leak current component by conduction of residual carriers in a buffer layer, and achieves improvement in a break-down voltage, and enhances a carrier confinement effect (carrier confinement) of a channel to improve pinch-off characteristics (to suppress a short channel effect). For example, when applying the present invention to a GaN-type field effect transistor, besides GaN of a channel layer, a composition-modulated (composition-gradient) AlGaN layer in which aluminum composition reduces toward a top gradually or stepwise is used as a buffer layer (hetero buffer). To gate length Lg of a FET to be prepared, a sum a of layer thicknesses of an electron supply layer and a channel layer is selected so as to fulfill Lg/a≧5, and in such a case, the layer thickness of the channel layer is selected in a range of not exceeding 5 times (about 500 Å) as long as a de Broglie wavelength of two-dimensional electron gas accumulated in the channel layer in room temperature.

摘要:
The present invention provides a semiconductor device capable of suppressing current collapse, and also of preventing dielectric breakdown voltage and gain from lowering so as to perform high-voltage operation and realize an ideal high output. On a substrate (101), there are formed a buffer layer (102) made of a first GaN-based semiconductor, a carrier traveling layer (103) made of a second GaN-based semiconductor and a carrier supplying layer (104) made of a third GaN-based semiconductor. A recess structure (108) is made by eliminating a part of a first insulation film (107) and a part of the carrier supplying layer (104). Next, a gate insulation film (109) is deposited, and then a gate electrode (110) is formed so as to fill up the recess portion (108) and cover on over an area where the first insulation film (107) remains so that its portion on the drain electrode side is longer than that on the source electrode side. Such a recess structure is employed so as to provide the high-output semiconductor device capable of performing the high-voltage operation.
