Problems solved by technology

[0004] Notched gate technology is a common technical means for GaN power devices to achieve enhanced operation, but the notched gate technology has a large fluctuation in the threshold voltage of the device, and the channel cannot be completely pinched off under zero bias, resulting in a small amount of leakage current.
