  • Publication number: 20230326984
    Abstract: A vertical gallium oxide (Ga2O3) device having a substrate, an n-type Ga2O3 drift layer on the substrate, an, n-type semiconducting channel extending from the n-type Ga2O3 drift layer, the channel being one of fin-shaped or nanowire shaped, an n-type source layer disposed on the channel; the source layer has a higher doping concentration than the channel, a first dielectric layer on the n-type Ga2O3 drift layer and on sidewalls of the n-type semiconducting channel, a conductive gate layer deposited on the first dielectric layer and insulated from the n-type source layer, n-type semiconducting channel as well as n-type Ga2O3 drift layer, a second dielectric layer deposited over the conductive gate layer, covering completely the conductive gate layer on channel sidewalls and an ohmic source contact deposited over the n-type source layer and over at least a part of the second dielectric layer; the source contact being configured not to be in electrical contact with the conductive gate layer.

  • Patent number: 9362389
    Abstract: A nitride-based field effect transistor (FET) comprises a compositionally graded and polarization induced doped p-layer underlying at least one gate contact and a compositionally graded and doped n-channel underlying a source contact. The n-channel is converted from the p-layer to the n-channel by ion implantation, a buffer underlies the doped p-layer and the n-channel, and a drain underlies the buffer.
