Group III-nitride antenna diode

Abstract:

A Group III-Nitride (III-N) device structure is presented comprising: a heterostructure having three or more layers comprising III-N material, a cathode comprising donor dopants, wherein the cathode is on a first layer of the heterostructure, an anode within a recess that extends through two or more of the layers of the heterostructure, wherein the anode comprises a first region wherein the anode is separated from the heterostructure by a high k dielectric material, and a second region wherein the anode is in direct contact with the heterostructure, and a conducting region in the first layer in direct contact to the cathode and conductively connected to the anode. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
