Assignee: TRANSPHORM TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A III-N device, comprising:
a III-N layer structure comprising a III-N channel layer and a III-N barrier layer, wherein a compositional difference between the III-N channel layer and the III-N barrier layer induces a 2DEG channel therein; and
a source contact, a gate contact, and a drain contact;
wherein the III-N device is characterized as a depletion-mode device, wherein a 2DEG channel has a first on-resistance between the source contact and the drain contact when the gate contact is biased at zero voltage, wherein the 2DEG channel has a second on-resistance between the source contact and the drain contact when the gate contact is biased at a positive voltage, wherein the second on-resistance is less than the first on-resistance; and wherein the second on-resistance is less than 25% of the first on-resistance when the gate contact is biased at +2.5V or greater.
