  • Publication number: 20240363697
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a semiconductor device comprising a plurality of quasi field plates (QFPs) for enhanced wafer uniformity and performance. A channel layer and a barrier layer are stacked on a substrate, and the channel layer accommodates a two-dimensional carrier gas (2DCG). A source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode overlie the channel and barrier layers, and the gate electrode is between the source and drain electrodes in a first direction. The plurality of QFPs are between the gate electrode and the drain electrode. Further, the plurality of QFPs are capacitively or directly electrically coupled to the drain electrode, and are spaced from each other laterally in a line in a second direction transverse to the first direction.
