dthick=dhighk− (εhigh/εlow)dthin
なる関係で与えられているものとする。すなわち、前記の関係が成り立つ時には、図3における2層絶縁膜(高障壁絶縁膜(誘電率εlow、膜厚dthin)/高誘電率絶縁膜(誘電率εhigh、膜厚dthick))は、図1における単層の高誘電率絶縁膜(誘電率εhigh、膜厚dhighk)と、絶縁膜容量が等しくなり、MIS構造HFETの真性の利得は等しくなる。
dthick≧dthin
なる条件が、本発明の特徴となる。この時、
dthin≦{(εlow/(εhigh + εlow)}dhighk
であり、εhigh〜20とすると、高障壁層絶縁膜がSiO2、Al2O3の時、dthinはdhighkのそれぞれ1/6、1/3以下となる。
