Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and in particular relates to a gallium nitride transistor structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Devices based on traditional semiconductor materials such as Si and GaAs are limited by the properties of the materials themselves, so it is difficult to further improve the corresponding indicators of power semiconductor devices. In recent years, the third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials based on group III nitrides have developed rapidly. GaN has excellent material properties such as wide band gap, high saturation electron drift rate, high breakdown field strength and high thermal conductivity, and has great development potential in the fields of high frequency, high temperature, high power and ultraviolet LED. In addition, GaN also has excellent electronic properties, and can form a modulation-doped AlGaN / GaN heterostructure with AlGaN to ob...
