Problems solved by technology

However, these problems can only solve the "current collapse" when the device works at low voltage, because at low voltage, electrons only fill the trap states on the semiconductor surface, and when the device works at high voltage, electrons will be more inclined to In order to fill the deep-level trap states in the semiconductor body at the bottom, these deep-level trap states will be more difficult to release electrons than the surface trap states. "Collapse" effect will be greatly reduced

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an enhanced HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor, high electron mobility transistor) device, in particular to an enhanced HEMT device with a back field plate structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Group III nitride semiconductor enhanced HEMT devices, due to piezoelectric polarization and spontaneous polarization effects, will form a two-dimensional electron gas with high concentration and high mobility at the heterojunction interface, such as the AlGaN / GaN interface. In addition, the enhanced HEMT device with group III nitride semiconductor as the substrate material can obtain a high breakdown voltage and at the same time obtain a low specific on-resistance. Due to the large band gap of the material, it has a very high temperature Work performance and good radiation resistance. Therefore, it is not only suitable for high-frequency power amplifier devices, but also applicable to the field ...
