3) using can reactive ion etching (ICP) equipment, handled and be based in a manner of H plasma or H DIFFUSION TREATMENT The P-GaN of the electronic device of AlGaN/GaN (hetero-junctions) two-dimensional electron gas, to form the semiconductor array being made of HR-GaN; By the P-GaN near source and drain ohmic area, also processing forms HR- GaN in a manner of H plasma or H DIFFUSION TREATMENT simultaneously, with Source and drain metal is prevented to be connected to by P-GaN, the region of H plasma or H DIFFUSION TREATMENT is connect with source and drain ohmic area;System The device architecture for forming channel array is as shown in Figure 3;

4) using electron beam evaporation technique production gate metal, (gate metal can be Ni/Au, to be cascading Ni layer, Au layers), production formed the heterojunction field effect transistor based on channel array structure.

Compared with the prior art, the heterojunction field effect transistor provided in an embodiment of the present invention based on channel array can be real Now it is greater than the threshold voltage of zero volt, the positive maximum safe operating voltage of grid is higher, and strong antijamming capability, device stability is good, Simultaneously because its production method is without lithographic technique, the problems such as avoiding etching homogeneity, repeatability and etching injury; Meanwhile P-GaN is handled in a manner of H plasma treatment or H DIFFUSION TREATMENT, processing depth is controllable, will not to subsurface material and Two-dimensional electron gas causes to damage, and ensure that the reliability of device.

It should be appreciated that the technical concepts and features of above-described embodiment only to illustrate the invention, its object is to allow be familiar with this The personage of item technology cans understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and it is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.It is all Equivalent change or modification made by Spirit Essence according to the present invention, should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
