  • Publication number: 20150171203
    Abstract: In this GaN-based HFET, 2DEG (2-Dimensional Electron Gas) exclusion regions (31) in which no 2DEG is present are formed in the GaN-based multilayered body (5) under regions which are positioned lengthwise outer than imaginary lines (M1, M2) extended from lengthwise ends (11A, 11B) of drain electrodes (11) in a widthwise direction orthogonal to the lengthwise direction and which are adjacent to source electrodes (12), as well as in the GaN-based multilayered body (5) under regions which are lengthwise outwardly adjacent to the lengthwise ends (11A, 11B) of the drain electrodes (11). By the presence of the 2DEG exclusion region (31), concentration of electron flows from end portions of the source electrodes (12) toward end portions of the drain electrodes (11) due to dynamic electric field variations on switching operations can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20150021671
    Abstract: According to this GaN-based HFET, resistivity ? of a semi-insulating film forming a gate insulating film is 3.9×109 ?cm. The value of this resistivity ? is a value derived when the current density is 6.25×10?4 (A/cm2). By inclusion of the gate insulating film by a semi-insulating film having a resistivity ?=3.9×109 ?cm, a withstand voltage of 1000 V can be obtained. Meanwhile, the withstand voltage abruptly drops as the resistivity of the gate insulating film exceeds 1×1011 ?cm, and the gate leak current increases when the resistivity of the gate insulating film drops below 1×107 ?cm.
