Patent attributes
A nitride-based semiconductor device includes a buffer, a first nitride-based semiconductor layer, a shield layer, a second nitride-based semiconductor layer, S/D electrodes, and a gate electrode. A first nitride-based semiconductor layer is disposed over the buffer. A shield layer is disposed between the buffer and the first nitride-based semiconductor layer and includes a first isolation compound that has a bandgap greater than a bandgap of the first nitride-based semiconductor layer, in which the first isolation compound is made of at least one two-dimensional material which includes at least one metal element. A second nitride-based semiconductor layer is disposed on the first nitride-based semiconductor layer and has a bandgap less than the bandgap of the first isolation compound and greater than the bandgap of the first nitride-based semiconductor layer. The pair of S/D electrodes and the gate electrode are disposed over the second nitride-based semiconductor layer.
