Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor device includes: a channel layer made of a compound semiconductor; a barrier layer provided above the channel layer and made of a compound semiconductor in which an energy band on a carrier travel side in a junction with respect to the channel layer is farther from an intrinsic Fermi level in the channel layer than in the channel layer; a low-resistance region provided in a surface layer of the barrier layer, in which resistance is kept lower than portions around by containing impurity; a source electrode and a drain electrode connected to the barrier layer at positions sandwiching the low-resistance region; a gate insulating layer provided on the low-resistance region; and a gate electrode provided above the low-resistance region through the gate insulating layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor device comprising: an undoped group III-V compound channel layer between a group III-V compound semiconductor upper barrier layer and a group III-V compound semiconductor lower barrier layer; a carrier supply region of the group III-V compound semiconductor upper barrier layer between a first high-resistance region of the group III-V compound semiconductor upper barrier layer and a second high-resistance region of the group III-V compound s…
