Problems solved by technology

[0004] At the same time, existing studies have shown that there is a large electric field peak at the end of the gate of the HEMT device when it is working. In the working state of the device, the strong electric field at the end of the gate will cause a large number of interface states in this region, resulting in a decline in device performance. raises reliability issues
At present, the solution to this problem is to increase the gate field plate to shield the strong electric field at the end of the device gate. However, the effect of the traditional gate field plate is limited, and there will still be a strong electric field at the end of the device gate, so that the traditional device is still There are serious reliability problems
