Stress-Controlled HEMT

摘要

A transistor device includes a heterostructure body having a source, a drain spaced apart from the source and a two-dimensional charge carrier gas channel between the source and the drain. The transistor device further includes a piezoelectric gate on the heterostructure body. The piezoelectric gate is operable to control the channel below the piezoelectric gate by increasing or decreasing a force applied to the heterostructure body responsive to a voltage applied to the piezoelectric gate.
