Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus includes a bidirectional hetero junction field-effect power transistor having a gate between conduction electrodes, semiconductor layers, one formed on the other, and the two meeting at an electron gas layer interface, and a reference electrode embedded in one layer. The reference electrode connects to a potential of a zone of the gas layer that is plumb with the reference electrode, A distance between the reference electrode and one conduction electrode and between the gate and that conduction electrode is between 45 and 55% of a distance between the conduction electrodes. A control circuit connected to the reference electrode generates a switching voltage for switching the transistor from a reference electrode voltage, and to apply a control voltage to the gate.

First claim
