A high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT), also known as heterostructure FET (HFET) or modulation-doped FET (MODFET), is a field-effect transistor incorporating a junction between two materials with different band gaps (i.e. a heterojunction) as the channel instead of a doped region (as is generally the case for MOSFET). A commonly used material combination is GaAs with AlGaAs, though there is wide variation, dependent on the application of the device. Devices incorporating more indium generally show better high-frequency performance, while in recent years, gallium nitride HEMTs have attracted attention due to their high-power performance. Like other FETs, HEMTs are used in integrated circuits as digital on-off switches. FETs can also be used as amplifiers for large amounts of current using a small voltage as a control signal. Both of these uses are made possible by the FET’s unique current-voltage characteristics. HEMT transistors are able to operate at higher frequencies than ordinary transistors, up to millimeter wave frequencies, and are used in high-frequency products such as cell phones, satellite television receivers, voltage converters, and radar equipment. They are widely used in satellite receivers, in low power amplifiers and in the defense industry.
Field plate structure to reduce self-heating in transistor and related method
A structure includes a transistor, e.g., HEMT, with a field plate positioned laterally to a side of an active gate and including a first portion extending over the active gate. A dielectric layer isolates a lower surface of the first portion from an upper surface of the active gate. A field plate contact includes interconnect layers located directly over the active gate and electrically coupled to the first portion directly over the active gate. The field plate contact allows electrical operation of the field plate, but also acts as a thermally conductive path from the active gate through the interconnect layers to cool likely hot spots within the transistor.

Field plate biasing of high electron mobility transistor
The biasing of one or more field plates of a high electron mobility transistor (a HEMT) with a non-zero voltage to thereby affect the electric field profile of the HEMT. The non-zero voltage may be a constant DC voltage, or perhaps may be a voltage that changes over time. The use of a non-zero voltage allows for greater ability to regulate and reduce the electric field occurring in the semiconductor channel region, especially at the field plate. Further, when the electric field occurring at the field plate is reduced, the overall size of the HEMT can also be reduced as compared to applying a zero voltage to the field plate. Alternatively, or in addition, applying a non-zero voltage to the field plate allows the voltage levels handled by the HEMT to be increased as compared to simply grounding the field plate.
