Abstract: A III-N semiconductor device that includes a substrate and a nitride channel layer including a region partly beneath a gate region, and two channel access regions on opposite sides of the part beneath the gate. The channel access regions may be in a different layer from the region beneath the gate. The device includes an AlXN layer adjacent the channel layer wherein X is gallium, indium or their combination, and a preferably n-doped GaN layer adjacent the AlXN layer in the areas adjacent to the channel access regions. The concentration of Al in the AlXN layer, the AlXN layer thickness and the n-doping concentration in the n-doped GaN layer are selected to induce a 2DEG charge in channel access regions without inducing any substantial 2DEG charge beneath the gate, so that the channel is not conductive in the absence of a switching voltage applied to the gate.

Abstract: Planar Schottky diodes for which the semiconductor material includes a heterojunction which induces a 2DEG in at least one of the semiconductor layers. A metal anode contact is on top of the upper semiconductor layer and forms a Schottky contact with that layer. A metal cathode contact is connected to the 2DEG, forming an ohmic contact with the layer containing the 2DEG.

Abstract: Techniques for improving reliability of III-N devices include holding the III-N devices at a first temperature less than or equal to 30° for a first period of time while applying a first gate-source voltage lower than a threshold voltage of the III-N devices and a first drain-source voltage greater than 0.2 times a break down voltage of the III-N devices; and holding the III-N devices at a second temperature greater than the first temperature for a second period of time while applying a second gate-source voltage lower than a threshold voltage of the III-N devices and a second drain-source voltage greater than 0.2 times a breakdown voltage of the III-N devices. After holding the III-N devices at the first and second temperatures, screening the III-N devices based on electrical performance of one or more parameters of the III-N devices.
