摘要:
Transistor devices which include semiconductor layers with integrated hole collector regions are described. The hole collector regions are configured to collect holes generated in the transistor device during operation and transport them away from the active regions of the device. The hole collector regions can be electrically connected or coupled to the source, the drain, or a field plate of the device. The hole collector regions can be doped, for example p-type or nominally p-type, and can be capable of conducting holes but not electrons.

A current aperture vertical electron transistor (CAVET) with ammonia (NH3) based molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown p-type Gallium Nitride (p-GaN) as a current blocking layer (CBL). Specifically, the CAVET features an active buried Magnesium (Mg) doped GaN layer for current blocking purposes. This structure is very advantageous for high power switching applications and for any device that requires a buried active p-GaN layer for its functionality.

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.
摘要:
Planar Schottky diodes for which the semiconductor material includes a heterojunction which induces a 2DEG in at least one of the semiconductor layers. A metal anode contact is on top of the upper semiconductor layer and forms a Schottky contact with that layer. A metal cathode contact is connected to the 2DEG, forming an ohmic contact with the layer containing the 2DEG.
