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

Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor structure for use in a III-Nitride (III-N) semiconductor device, comprising:
a channel layer;
a barrier layer, wherein electrons are formed at an interface between the channel layer and the barrier layer;
a source contact and a drain contact disposed in ohmic recesses in contact with the barrier layer;
a gate electrode disposed between the source contact and the drain contact, wherein a region between the drain contact and the gate electrode comprises a drain access region; and
one or more electron density reduction regions disposed in the drain access region which do not extend beneath and are separated from the gate electrode, wherein an electron density in the electron density reduction regions is reduced as compared to other portions of the drain access region.
