Abstract

An active regionis formed on a substrate, which is made of SiC, GaN, or GaAs, for example, by alternately layering undoped layerswith a thickness of for example about 50 nm and n-type doped layerswith a thickness (for example, about 10 nm) that is thin enough that quantum effects can be achieved. Carriers spread out into the undoped layersfrom sub-bands of the n-type doped layersthat occur due to quantum effects. In the undoped layers, which have a low concentration of impurities, the scattering of impurities is reduced, and therefore a high carrier mobility can be obtained there, and when the entire active regionhas become depleted, a large withstand voltage value can be obtained due to the undoped layersby taking advantage of the fact that there are no more carriers in the active region
