Abstract
An HEMT device of a normally-on type, comprising a heterostructure; a dielectric layer extending over the heterostructure; and a gate electrode extending right through the dielectric layer. The gate electrode is a stack, which includes: a protection layer, which is made of a metal nitride with stuffed grain boundaries and extends over the heterostructure, and a first metal layer, which extends over the protection layer and is completely separated from the heterostructure by said protection layer.
