  • Patent number: 10847643
    Abstract: Provided is an enhancement mode HEMT device including a substrate, a channel layer, a barrier layer, a P-type semiconductor layer, a carrier providing layer, a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode. The channel layer is disposed on the substrate. The barrier layer is disposed on the channel layer. The P-type semiconductor layer is disposed on the barrier layer. The carrier providing layer is disposed on the sidewall of the P-type semiconductor layer and extends laterally away from the P-type semiconductor layer. The gate electrode is disposed on the P-type semiconductor layer. The source electrode and the drain electrode are disposed on the carrier providing layer and at two sides of the gate electrode. A method of forming an enhancement mode HEMT device is further provided.

  • Patent number: 10446472
    Abstract: Provided is a nitride semiconductor device including a substrate, a nucleation layer, a buffer layer, a channel layer, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The nucleation layer, the buffer layer, the channel layer, and the barrier layer are sequentially disposed on the first surface of the substrate. The first electrode layer and the second electrode layer are disposed on the barrier layer. A first void penetrates through the substrate, the nucleation layer, the buffer layer, the channel layer, and the barrier layer and exposes a portion of the first electrode.
