Abstract
A semiconductor device having a back-side field plate includes a buffer layer that includes a first compound semiconductor material, where the buffer layer is epitaxial to a crystalline substrate. The semiconductor device also includes field plate layer that is disposed on a surface of the buffer layer. The semiconductor device further includes a first channel layer disposed over the field plate layer, where the first channel layer includes the first compound semiconductor material. The semiconductor device further includes a region comprising a two-dimensional electron gas, where the two-dimensional electron gas is formed at an interface between the first channel layer and a second channel layer. The semiconductor device additionally includes a back-side field plate that is formed by a region of the field plate layer and is electrically isolated from other regions of the field plate layer.
