- a two-dimensional electron gas is formed in the semiconductor layer between the drain electrode and the gate electrode, but in at least a part of the semiconductor layer between the source electrode and the gate electrode,
- a two-dimensional electron gas is formed by the two-dimensional electron gas elimination layer that prevents the two-dimensional electron gas from accumulating in the carrier (electron) traveling layer.
- the electrical conduction is performed through a low resistance layer on the two-dimensional electron gas elimination layer.
- the two-dimensional electron gas elimination layer between the two-dimensional electron gas and the low resistance layer becomes a barrier, when the gate voltage is 0 V, a current flows between the two-dimensional electron gas and the low resistance layer. Does not flow and is in enhancement mode.
- the source resistance is determined by a low-resistance layer that does not use a two-dimensional electron gas, and the low-resistance layer exists only between the source electrode and the gate electrode. Does not exist. For this reason, a reduction in resistance and an increase in breakdown voltage can be performed independently, and both a reduction in source resistance and a high voltage operation can be achieved.

- Insulated Gate Type Field-Effect Transistor (AREA)
Abstract
L'invention concerne un dispositif à semiconducteurs présentant une faible résistance de source, capable d’effectuer une excellente action de renforcement pour une action à haute tension. Par-dessus un substrat (101), on forme une couche tampon (102) constituée d’un premier semiconducteur de la famille GaN, une couche (103) de transit des porteurs constituée d’un deuxième semiconducteur de la famille GaN, d’une couche (104) d’amenée de porteurs constituée d’un troisième semiconducteur de la famille GaN, d’une couche (105) de dissolution de gaz électronique bidimensionnel qui est constituée d’un quatrième semiconducteur de la famille GaN et élève la bande de conduction de la couche d’amenée de porteurs en la rapprochant de l’ordre du vide de telle sorte qu’un gaz électronique bidimensionnel ne puisse pas s’accumuler dans la couche de transit des porteurs, et une couche (106) à faible résistance constituée d’un cinquième semiconducteur de la famille GaN. La couche (105) de dissolution du gaz électronique bidimensionnel et la couche (106) à faible résistance sont éliminées par attaque en creux au niveau des zones situées entre une électrode de drain et une électrode de grille et au niveau des zones situées au-dessous d’une partie inférieure de l’électrode de grille et une électrode (108) de drain. Ensuite, les faces latérales restantes de la couche (105) de dissolution du gaz électronique bidimensionnel et de la couche (106) à faible résistance sont formées de telle sorte qu’elles ne soient pas normales aux surfaces avant l’élimination, mais inclinées par rapport à celles-ci. Une électrode (107) de source est formée en contact avec la couche (106) à faible résistance, et l’électrode (108) de drain est formée en contact avec la couche d’amenée de porteurs (104). Puis un film (109) d’isolation de grille est formé afin de former une électrode (110) de grille. Enfin, un film (111) de protection est formé afin de fabriquer un transistor à effet de champ.
