This invention belongs to the field of power
semiconductor technology and relates to a lateral enhancement-mode
gallium oxide transistor with a selectively recessed current blocking region. At
zero bias, the current blocking region, combined with the depletion effect of the P-type
semiconductor layer on the channel, achieves enhancement-mode functionality and increases the
threshold voltage. During forward conduction, the selective recess and P-type
semiconductor layer increase
channel density, and the channel sidewalls form an
electron accumulation layer conductive path, reducing on-resistance and increasing current capability. During forward blocking, the current blocking region suppresses leakage current, and the toothed heterogate stepped field plate, combined with the patterned
source field plate and drain region stepped
doping, alleviates
electric field concentration and optimizes
electric field distribution in the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical directions, thereby improving the device
breakdown voltage. The beneficial effects of this invention are that the device possesses high
threshold voltage, low on-resistance, and high
breakdown voltage.
