Date of Patent: Sep. 12, 2006

Inventors: Jeff NauseShanthi Ganesan.

A zinc oxide (ZnO) FET uses a gate-insulating layer (aluminum nitride/aluminum gallium nitride or magnesium zinc oxide) to achieve high input amplitude. It operates in enhancement mode, like a silicon MOSFET, forming an inversion layer. The excellent insulation characteristics of the gate insulating layer increase the Schottky barrier, enabling the large input amplitude.
