    Abstract: A nitride-based semiconductor device includes a buffer, a first nitride-based semiconductor layer, a second nitride-based semiconductor layer, a gate electrode, a first S/D electrode, and a second S/D electrode. The buffer includes at least one layer of a nitride-based semiconductor compound doped with an acceptor at a top-most portion of the buffer. The first nitride-based semiconductor layer is disposed over the buffer. The second nitride-based semiconductor layer is disposed on the first nitride-based semiconductor layer and has a bandgap greater than a bandgap of the first nitride-based semiconductor layer. The gate electrode and the first and second S/D electrodes are disposed over the second nitride-based semiconductor layer. Profiles of the first and second S/D electrodes are asymmetric with respect to the gate electrode, such that a bottom surface of the first S/D electrode is deeper than that of the second S/D electrode with respect to the gate electrode.

    Abstract: A nitride-based semiconductor device including a first and a second nitride-based semiconductor layers, a source electrode and a drain electrode, and a gate structure. The gate structure includes at least one conductive layer and two or more doped nitride-based semiconductor layers. The at least one conductive layer includes metal, and is in contact with the second nitride-based semiconductor layer to form a metal-semiconductor junction therebetween. The two or more doped nitride-based semiconductor layers are in contact with the second nitride-based semiconductor layer and abut against the conductive layer, so as to form contact interfaces abutting against the metal-semiconductor junction with the second nitride-based semiconductor.

    Abstract: A nitride-based semiconductor device includes a first nitride-based semiconductor layer, a second nitride-based semiconductor layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a gate electrode, and a third nitride-based semiconductor layer. The first nitride-based semiconductor layer has at least one trench. The second nitride-based semiconductor layer is disposed on the first nitride-based semiconductor layer and spaced apart from the trench. The source electrode and the drain electrode are disposed above the second nitride-based semiconductor layer. The gate electrode is disposed above the second nitride-based semiconductor layer and between the source and drain electrodes, so as to at least define a drift region between the gate electrode and the drain electrode and overlaps with the trench. The third nitride-based semiconductor layer is at least disposed in the trench and extends upward from the trench to make contact with the second nitride-based semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: A nitride-based semiconductor device includes a first nitride-based semiconductor layer, a second nitride-based semiconductor layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a gate electrode and a single field plate. The source electrode, the drain electrode, and the gate electrode are disposed on the second nitride-based semiconductor layer. The gate electrode is between the source and drain electrodes. The single field plate is disposed over the gate electrode and extends toward the drain electrode. The field plate has a first end part, a second end part and the central part. The first and the second end parts are located at substantially the same height. Portions of the central part are in a position lower than that of the first and second end parts, and the first end part extends laterally in a length greater than a width of the gate electrode.

    Abstract: A nitride-based semiconductor device includes a substrate, a buffer, a first nitride-based semiconductor layer, a second nitride-based semiconductor layer, a S/D electrode, a second S/D electrode, and a gate electrode. The buffer is disposed over the substrate and includes at least one layer of a nitride-based semiconductor compound doped with an acceptor at a top-most portion of the buffer. The first and second nitride-based semiconductor layers are disposed over the buffer. The first S/D electrode is disposed over the second nitride-based semiconductor layer, in which the first S/D electrode extends downward to a position lower than the first nitride-based semiconductor layer, so as to form at least one first interface with the top-most portion of the buffer, making contact with the at least one layer of the nitride-based semiconductor compound. The second S/D electrode and the gate electrode are disposed over the second nitride-based semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: A nitride-based semiconductor device includes a first nitride-based semiconductor layer, a second nitride-based semiconductor layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a gate electrode a first strain-compensating layer, and a first protection layer. The second nitride-based semiconductor layer is disposed on the first nitride-based semiconductor layer and has a bandgap greater than a bandgap of the first nitride-based semiconductor layer. The source electrode and the drain electrode are disposed above the second nitride-based semiconductor layer. The gate electrode is disposed between the source and drain electrodes. The first strain-compensating layer is disposed above the second nitride-based semiconductor layer and between the drain and gate electrodes. The first protection layer covers the first strain-compensating layer to form a first interface, in which a vertical distance between the first interface and the second nitride-based semiconductor layer increases along a direction pointing toward the drain electrode from the gate electrode.
