Abstract
A reverse-conducting and heterogeneous structure field effect transistor and a method of fabricating same. The field effect transistor sequentially comprises a substrate (1), a buffer layer (2), an exponential layer (3), and a barrier layer (4) from bottom to top. The exponential layer (3) and the barrier layer (4) form a heterogeneous junction. An ohmic contact source electrode (5), a gate (6), a source electrode (7), and an ohmic contact drain electrode (8) are provided on the barrier layer (4) on the heterogeneous junction. Compared with a conventional heterogeneous structure field effect transistor, reverse conduction of devices is implemented by designing one more electrode on the surface, the process is simple, requires low cost, and is fully compatible with the process of an existing heterogeneous structure field effect transistor. In the case of needing a continuous current in a power circuit, by using a heterogeneous structure field effect transistor that also has a reverse-conducting function, a reverse-conducting diode does not need to be connected in parallel, so that a large chip area is saved, the cost for tests and encapsulation is reduced, and the device reliability is improved.
