Problems solved by technology

However, up to now, there is still no precedent of the field plate structure being successfully applied to GaN-based current aperture heterojunction field effect devices at home and abroad. This is mainly due to the inherent defects in the structure of GaN-based current aperture heterojunction field effect devices. As a result, the strongest electric field peak in the device drift layer is located near the interface between the current blocking layer and the aperture layer, and the electric field peak is far away from the surfaces on both sides of the drift layer, so the field plate structure can hardly play the role of effectively modulating the electric field distribution in the device, even in GaN The field plate structure is used in the base current aperture heterojunction field effect device, and there is almost no improvement in device performance
