  • Patent number: 12002906
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device and a semiconductor component. The semiconductor device includes an active structure, a ring-shaped semiconductor contact layer, a first electrode, and an insulating layer. The active structure has a first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, a second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, and an active layer located between the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer. The ring-shaped semiconductor contact layer is located on the second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer and having a first inner sidewall and a first outer sidewall. The first electrode has an upper surface and covers the ring-shaped semiconductor contact layer. The insulating layer covers the first electrode and the active structure and has a second inner sidewall and a second outer sidewall. The first inner sidewall is not flush with the second inner sidewall in a vertical direction.

  • Publication number: 20220271153
    Abstract: An HEMT includes a gallium nitride layer. An aluminum gallium nitride layer is disposed on the gallium nitride layer. A gate is disposed on the aluminum gallium nitride layer. The gate includes a P-type gallium nitride and a schottky contact layer. The P-type gallium nitride contacts the schottky contact layer, and a top surface of the P-type gallium nitride entirely overlaps a bottom surface of the schottky contact layer. A protective layer covers the aluminum gallium nitride layer and the gate. A source electrode is disposed at one side of the gate, penetrates the protective layer and contacts the aluminum gallium nitride layer. A drain electrode is disposed at another side of the gate, penetrates the protective layer and contacts the aluminum gallium nitride layer. A gate electrode is disposed directly on the gate, penetrates the protective layer and contacts the schottky contact layer.
