Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method of fabricating an enhancement mode Group III-nitride HEMT device and a Group III-nitride structure fabricated therefrom. One example embodiment is a method for fabricating an enhancement mode Group III-nitride HEMT device. The method includes providing a structure. The structure includes a substrate having a main surface. The structure also includes a layer stack overlying the main surface. Each layer of the layer stack includes a Group III-nitride material. The structure further includes a capping layer on the layer stack. The method also includes forming a recessed gate region by removing, in a gate region, at least the capping layer by performing an etch process, thereby exposing a top surface of an upper layer of the layer stack. The method further includes forming a p-type doped GaN layer in the recessed gate region and on the capping layer by performing a non-selective deposition process.
