Abstract
A low leakage current switch device () is provided which includes a GaN-on-Si substrate (-) covered by a passivation surface layer () in which a T-gate electrode with sidewall extensions () is formed and coated with a conformal passivation layer () so that the T-gate electrode sidewall extensions are spaced apart from the underlying passivation surface layer () by the conformal passivation layer ().
