Heterojunction field effect transistor

摘要

A heterojunction field effect transistor operative from the micro wave band to the millimeter wave band has a gate recess structure formed in a manner such that its eye-empty areas have a significant effect on the voltage durability of the transistor. The eye-empty areas extend from a gate electrode to a source electrode as well as to a drain electrode and are formed by at least two material layers having different impurity concentrations, thereby making it possible to obtain an improved heterojunction field effect transistor having a reduced series resistance and an increased voltage durability.
