Abstract:
A III-N enhancement-mode transistor includes a III-N structure including a conductive channel, source and drain contacts, and a gate electrode between the source and drain contacts. An insulator layer is over the III-N structure, with a recess formed through the insulator layer in a gate region of the transistor, with the gate electrode at least partially in the recess. The transistor further includes a field plate having a portion between the gate electrode and the drain contact, the field plate being electrically connected to the source contact. The gate electrode includes an extending portion that is outside the recess and extends towards the drain contact. The separation between the conductive channel and the extending portion of the gate electrode is greater than the separation between the conductive channel and the portion of the field plate that is between the gate electrode and the drain contact.

Claim (Index 1):
A bidirectional switch, comprising:\n a III-N structure including a conductive channel therein; a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode, the first and second gate electrodes being on the III-N structure; and a first source contact and a second source contact, the first source and second source contacts electrically contacting the conductive channel, wherein the first and second gate electrodes are each between the first and second source contacts; wherein the first source contact is part of a first electrode and the second source contact is part of a second electrode, the first electrode including a first portion which is between the first and second gate electrodes, and the second electrode including a second portion that is between the first and second gate electrodes, the first gate electrode including a main gate portion and an extending portion, the extending portion extending from the main gate portion towards the second gate electrode, wherein a separation between the conductive channel and the extending portion of the first gate electrode is greater than a separation between the conductive channel and the first portion of the first electrode; and a respective gate insulator layer between each of the first and second gate electrodes and the III-N structure.
