“…the burnout of circuit systems from a fail-safe perspective and to simplify the design of driving circuits, AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with normally-off behavior are desired. Several approaches have been reported to modulate the 2DEG channel and realize normally-off operation, such as recessed-gate structure [1], hybrid MIS gate [2], fluoride-based plasma-treatment [3], thin-barrier structure [4], p-n junction gate [5], ferroelectric gate [6], and some combined approaches [7][8][9][10][11]. Besides, vertical-type mesa-gate GaN transistors and groovetype channel combining polar and nonpolar AlGaN/GaN heterostructures, utilizing etching and regrowth technologies, were also reported [12][13][14].…”
