Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor structure including an equipotential field modulation body comprises a trench surrounding an active region of a group III-V power device fabricated in the semiconductor structure, and the equipotential field modulation body formed in the trench and extending over a portion of the active region. The equipotential field modulation body is electrically coupled to a terminal of the group III-V power device. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a semiconductor structure including an equipotential field modulation body comprises fabricating a trench surrounding an active region of the semiconductor structure, forming the equipotential field modulation body in the trench, the equipotential field modulation body extending over a portion of the active region, and electrically coupling the equipotential field modulation body to a terminal of a group III-V power device fabricated in the active region.
