Abstract: A transistor device including a field plate is described. One embodiment of such a device includes a field plate separated from a semiconductor layer by a thin spacer layer. In one embodiment, the thickness of spacer layer separating the field plate from the semiconductor layers is less than the thickness of spacer layer separating the field plate from the gate. In another embodiment, the non-zero distance separating the field plate from the semiconductor layers is about 1500 Å or less. Devices according to the present invention can show capacitances which are less drain bias dependent, resulting in improved linearity.

Abstract: A transistor device includes a semiconductor epitaxial layer structure including a channel layer and a barrier layer on the channel layer, a source contact and a drain contact on the barrier layer, an insulating layer on the semiconductor layer between the source contact and the drain contact, and a gate contact on the insulating layer. The gate contact includes a central portion that extends through the insulating layer and contacts the barrier layer and a drain side wing that extends laterally from the central portion of the gate toward the drain contact by a distance ΓD. The drain side wing of the gate contact is spaced apart from the barrier layer by a distance d1 that is equal to a thickness of the insulating layer. The distance ΓD is less than about 0.3 μm, and the distance d1 is less than about 80 nm.

Abstract: A transistor includes a semiconductor layer structure, a source electrode and a drain electrode on the semiconductor layer structure, a gate on a surface of the semiconductor layer structure between the source electrode and the drain electrode, and a field plate. The field plate includes a first portion adjacent the gate and a second portion adjacent the source or drain electrode. The second portion of the field plate is farther from the surface of the semiconductor layer structure than the first portion of the field plate, and is closer to the surface of the semiconductor layer structure than an extended portion of the gate. Related devices and fabrication methods are also discussed.
