of FIG. 4
[0051]Difficulties have so far been experienced in making HEMTs, MESFETs and like field-effect semiconductor devices that are “normally off.” The HEMT, for example, of the known standard construction explained at the beginning of this specification was normally on and had to be turned off using a negative power supply for causing the gate to gain a negative potential. Use of such a negative power supply made the associated circuitry unnecessary complex and expensive. The advent of a normally-off HEMT has long been awaited.
[0052]Drawn in FIG. 4 is a monolithic combination of a normally-off HEMT (or “HEMT-type” device, as will be later explained) and a Schottky diode according to the invention. A comparison of FIGS. 1 and 4 will reveal that this normally-off HEMT / diode combination is similar in construction to the normally-on HEMT / diode combination as far as the substrate 1, buffer region 2, main semiconductor region 5, HEMT electrodes 7, 8 and 13, and diode-creating Schottky...
