Latest Patents

Kazutaka holds a patent for an "Optical-gate transistor and method of manufacturing the same." This invention provides a method for manufacturing an optical-gate transistor. The process begins with the formation of a BP buffer layer on a silicone substrate, followed by the deposition of a first AIN layer to offset strain in the subsequent layers. A GaN layer and an n-type AIN layer are then deposited to create a hetero-junction at the interface. The invention includes a selective epitaxy or anisotropic etching of a GaN-group material to form a prism-shaped, light-receiving layer with a cubic lattice. This design focuses incident light to induce electrons in the n-type AIN layer, resulting in a high-speed 2DEG in the GaN layer, which enhances the power and sensitivity of the transistor controlled by illumination. Kazutaka has 1 patent to his name.
