Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and relates to an enhanced GaN-based HEMT device, its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Compared with traditional silicon-based materials, gallium nitride (GaN) has the advantages of large band gap, high breakdown field strength, low dielectric constant, high electron saturation velocity and low on-resistance. High electron mobility transistors (HMETs) based on GaN materials generate high two-dimensional electron gas through spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization, and have been widely used in high-power electronic devices, high-frequency microwave devices and other fields. [0003] Conventional GaN-based HEMT devices such as figure 1 As shown, since the conduction band at the AlGaN / AlN / GaN interface is below the Fermi energy, see figure 2 As shown, two-dimensional electron gas is generated, and the formed two-dimensional electron g...
