Abstract

See full text

An enhancement-mode GaN transistor with reduced gate leakage current between a gate contact and a 2DEG region and a method for manufacturing the same. The enhancement-mode GaN transistor including a GaN layer, a barrier layer disposed on the GaN layer with a 2DEG region formed at an interface between the GaN layer and the barrier layer, and source contact and drain contacts disposed on the barrier layer. The GaN transistor further includes a p-type gate material formed above the barrier layer and between the source and drain contacts and a gate metal disposed on the p-type gate material, with wherein the p-type gate material including comprises a pair of self-aligned ledges that extend toward the source contact and drain contact, respectively.
