Recessed and P-GaN Regrowth Gate Development for Normally-off AlGaN/GaN HEMTs

A new normally-off AlGaN/GaN HEMT structure is proposed. The regrowth of a P-GaN layer on the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure after the gate recess allows the achievement of the enhancement mode. A shift in the threshold voltage to positive values has been proved through simulation results. A precise control of the etch depth for the gate recess is detailed.
