Abstract
A high-voltage field effect transistor (HFET) includes a first semiconductor material, a second semiconductor material, and a heterojunction. The heterojunction is disposed between the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material. The HFET also includes a plurality of composite passivation layers, where a first composite passivation layer includes a first insulation layer and a first passivation layer, and a second composite passivation layer includes a second insulation layer and a second passivation layer. A gate dielectric is disposed between the first passivation layer and the second semiconductor material. A gate electrode is disposed between the gate dielectric and the first passivation layer. A first gate field plate is disposed between the first passivation layer and the second passivation layer. A source electrode and a drain electrode are coupled to the second semiconductor material, and a source field plate is coupled to the source electrode.
