Abstract
This application provides a gallium nitride component and a drive circuit thereof. The gallium nitride component includes: a substrate; a gallium nitride (GaN) buffer layer formed on the substrate; an aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) barrier layer formed on the GaN buffer layer; and a source, a drain, and a gate formed on the AlGaN barrier layer. The gate includes a P-doped gallium nitride (P—GaN) cap layer formed on the AlGaN barrier layer, and a first gate metal and a second gate metal formed on the P—GaN cap layer. A Schottky contact is formed between the first gate metal and the P—GaN cap layer, and an ohmic contact is formed between the second gate metal and the P—GaN cap layer. In the technical solution provided in this application, the gallium nitride component is a normally-off component, and is conducive to design of a drive circuit.
