  • Patent number: 8330187
    Abstract: A GaN-based field effect transistor (MOSFET) is comprised of a channel layer comprised of p-type GaN, an electron supply layer, a surface layer having band gap energy smaller than that of the electron supply layer, sequentially laminated on a substrate, and recess section is formed by removing a part of the drift layer, the electron supply layer, and the surface layer down to a depth that reaches to the channel layer. A source electrode and a drain electrode are formed so that the recess section positions between them, a gate insulation film is formed on the surface layer and on inner-surface of the recess section including the channel layer, and a gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating film in the recess section.

  • Patent number: 8330167
    Abstract: A GaN-based field effect transistor 101 comprises: a substrate 101; a channel layer 104 comprised of p-type GaN-based semiconductor material formed on the substrate 101; an electron supplying layer 106 formed on said channel layer 104 and comprised of GaN-based semiconductor material which has band gap energy greater than that of said channel layer 104; a gate insulating film 111 formed on a surface of said channel layer which was exposed after a part of said electron supplying layer was removed; a gate electrode 112 formed on said gate insulating film; a source electrode 109 and a drain electrode 110 formed so that said gate electrode 112 positions in between them; and a second insulating film 113 formed on said electron supplying layer, which is a different insulating film from said gate insulating film 111 and has electron collapse decreasing effect.

  • Publication number: 20100244101
    Abstract: There is provided a method for fabricating a semiconductor device capable of setting carbon concentration within crystal to a desirable value while improving electron mobility. The carbon concentration within a buffer layer is controlled by introducing material gas of hydrocarbon or organic compounds containing carbon such as propane as a dopant in forming the buffer layer by introducing trimethylgallium (TMGa) and ammonium (NH3) as gaseous nitride compound semiconductor materials into a chamber in which a substrate is disposed.
