Problems solved by technology

High electron mobility transistor structures using conventional source field plate technology such as figure 1 As shown, since the traditional source field plate is formed by the source electrode, its potential is a fixed source potential, resulting in a large lateral electric field peak at the end of the source field plate, and in the barrier layer between the gate electrode and the drain electrode The distribution of the lateral electric field is very uneven, so that the lateral withstand voltage capability of the device is low, and the breakdown voltage of the device is much lower than the theoretical value

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of power semiconductor devices, and more specifically relates to a high electron mobility transistor with coupled field plates suitable for high voltage applications. Background technique [0002] High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) with heterostructures, especially those made of GaN and AlGaN, feature high electron mobility and a large critical electric field, resulting in a high breakdown voltage , The advantages of small on-resistance and fast switching speed can improve the efficiency of the power management system and reduce the volume of the power management system, and have broad application prospects in the field of power semiconductors. [0003] Due to the technical difficulty and high cost of forming P-type doped regions in heterostructure high electron mobility transistors, super junction technology and buried layer technology in the field of power semiconductors cannot be applied to HEMT dev...
