Abstract
A gallium nitride (GaN) device with field plate structure, including a substrate, a gate on the substrate and a passivation layer covering on the gate, a source and a drain on the substrate and the passivation layer, a stop layer on the source, the drain and the passivation layer, and dual-damascene interconnects connecting respectively with the source and the drain, wherein the dual-damascene interconnect is provided with a via portion under the stop layer and a trench portion on the stop layer, and the via portion is connected with the source or the drain, and the trench portion of one of the dual-damascene interconnects extends horizontally toward the drain and overlaps the gate below in vertical direction, thereby functioning as a field plate structure for the GaN device.
