Abstract

We report on a Double Channel A1GaN/GaN Heterostructure Field Effect Transistor, where the bottom channel is formed by a GaN-AlGaN-GaN Semiconductor-Insulator-Semiconductor structure. The series resistance for the bottom channel is strongly dependent on the drain bias. This new design demonstrates that the current carrying capability of AlGaN/GaN HFETs can be enhanced using multi channel structures.
