US Patent 7714360 Surface-stabilized semiconductor device

A high electron mobility transistor is disclosed which has a main semiconductor region formed on a silicon substrate. The main semiconductor region is a lamination of a buffer layer on the substrate, an electron transit layer on the buffer layer, and an electron supply layer on the electron transit layer. A source, drain, and gate overlie the electron supply layer. Also formed on the electron supply layer is a surface-stabilizing organic semiconductor overlay which is of p conductivity type in contrast to the n type of the electron supply layer.
