CURRENT APERTURE VERTICAL ELECTRON TRANSISTORS

摘要

A current aperture vertical electron transistor (CAVET) with ammonia (NH3) based molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown p-type Gallium Nitride (p-GaN) as a current blocking layer (CBL). Specifically, the CAVET features an active buried Magnesium (Mg) doped GaN layer for current blocking purposes. This structure is very advantageous for high power switching applications and for any device that requires a buried active p-GaN layer for its functionality.
