Abstract

A normally off-mode AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field effect transistor (HFET) using a p-type GaN gate was fabricated and their static properties were compared with those of HFET having a Schottky gate. HFET having a p-GaN gate contact shows a very low leakage current density of 18.2 μA/mm at VGS and VDS of 0 V and 20 V, respectively.
