Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate, an active layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a p-type doped layer, a gate electrode, a passivation layer, and a field plate. The active layer is disposed on the substrate. The source electrode, the drain electrode and the p-type doped layer are disposed on the active layer. The p-type doped layer is disposed between the source electrode and the drain electrode, and has a first thickness. The gate electrode is disposed on the p-type doped layer. The passivation layer covers the gate electrode and the active layer. The field plate is disposed on the passivation layer and is electrically connected to the source electrode. The field plate includes a field dispersion portion disposed between the gate electrode and the drain electrode. The passivation layer between the field dispersion portion and the active layer has a second thickness smaller than the first thickness.

Claim (Index 4):
