Abstract
A method for forming a cascode rectifier structure includes providing a group III-V semiconductor structure includes a heterostructure disposed on a semiconductor substrate. A first current carrying electrode and a second current carrying electrode are provided adjacent a major surface of the heterostructure and a control electrode is provided between the first and second current carrying electrode. A rectifier device is provided integrated with the group III-V semiconductor structure and is electrically connected to the first current carrying electrode and to a third electrode. The control electrode is provided further electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate and the second current path is generally perpendicular to a primary current path between the first and second current carrying electrodes. The cascode rectifier structure is provided as a two terminal device.
