Abstract
A III-nitride vertical field effect transistor comprises a base plate; a mask layer overlaying said base plate and having opening windows for partial exposure of said base plate; a drain grown epitaxially onto regions of said base plate exposed by the opening windows of said mask layer; an insulation layer grown epitaxially onto said drain; a source grown epitaxially onto said insulation layer; a vertical nitride stack grown epitaxially onto the side faces of said drain, said insulation layer and said source, overlaying said mask layer and providing at least one vertical conducting channel to connect said source to said drain; a current flowing from said source to said drain through a conducting channel can be modulated by an electrical voltage that is applied to the side face of said vertical nitride stack. There are preferably also electrodes and edge terms.
