WO 2011023607 A1 UPAB: 20110321 NOVELTY - The method for determining the structure of a transistor comprising a first layer (11) made of gallium nitride, a second layer (12) made of aluminum-gallium-nitride, and a fourth layer (14) made of metal or alloy, comprises setting the layer thickness of the second layer, setting the aluminum content x of the second layer, producing the second layer and the first layer, determining the surface potential and/or the charge carrier density and/or the charge carrier motility after producing the second layer and the first layer, and selecting the material of the fourth layer. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method for determining the structure of a transistor comprising a first layer (11) made of gallium nitride, a second layer (12) made of aluminum-gallium-nitride, and a fourth layer (14) made of metal or alloy, comprises setting the layer thickness of the second layer, setting the aluminum content x of the second layer, producing the second layer and the first layer, determining the surface potential and/or the charge carrier density and/or the charge carrier motility after producing the second layer and the first layer, and selecting the material of the fourth layer in dependent upon the surface potential and/or the charge carrier density. The material of the fourth layer is silver, palladium, nickel and/or platinum. The transistor comprises a third layer (13) made of gallium nitride disposed between the second and fourth layer, which is disposed on the third layer. The third layer is disposed on the second layer, which is disposed on the first layer. The total thickness of the second and third layer is 15-50 nm. The aluminum content is 0.08-0.18. The production process of the third, second and the first layer is molecular beam epitaxy process, metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy process or metal organic chemical vapor deposition process. The thickness and aluminum content of the second layer are increased in order to lower the threshold voltage of the transistor and the thickness and aluminum content of the second layer are reduced in order to increase the threshold voltage of the transistor. The selection of the material of the fourth layer is carried out so that the threshold voltage of the transistor is -4.5 to -1.0 V. An echo effect-measurement and/or the measurement of photo reflexion is carried out. A connection between a changing of surface potential is modelized through applying the fourth layer and a changing of the charge carrier density. The threshold voltage is modelized in dependent on the surface potential after the application of the fourth layer and the charge carrier density. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a semiconductor component. USE - Method for determining the structure of a transistor useful for base station for a mobile network (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The method ensures simple and efficient determination of the structure of a transistor with good quality.
