GROUP III-N HFET WITH A GRADED BARRIER LAYER

摘要

A device and a method of making said wherein the device wherein the device has a group III-nitride buffer deposited on a substrate; and a group III-nitride heterostructure disposed on a surface of the group III-nitride buffer, wherein the group III-nitride heterostructure has a group III-nitride channel and a group III-nitride barrier layer disposed on a surface of the group III-nitride channel, the group III-nitride barrier layer including Al as one of its constituent group III elements, the Al having a mole fraction which varies at least throughout a portion of said group III-nitride barrier layer.
