Abstract(in English) In this paper, we present recessed-gate AlGaN/GaN HFETs with lattice-matched InAlGaN capping layers, which reduce both ohmic contact resistance and series resistance between the AlGaN and the capping layer. The lattice-matched alloy epitaxial layer with both In and Al high compositions are successfully grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The grown lattice-matched In_<0.09>Al_<0.32>Ga_<0.59>N capping layer has close total polarization and bandgap to those of the underlying Al_<0.26>Ga_<0.74>N layer. The balanced polarization eliminates the depletion of electrons at the In_<0.09>Al_<0.32>Ga_<0.59>N/Al_<0.26>Ga_<0.74>N interface. which can reduce the series resistance across it. It is also noted that the fabricated HFET exhibits very low ohmic contact resistance of 1.0×10^<-6>Ωcm^2 or less. Detailed analysis of the source resistance reveals that the series resistance at the In_<0.09>Al_<0.32>Ga_<0.59>N/Al_<0.26>Ga_<0.74>N interface is one fifth as low as the resistance at the conventional GaN/Al_<0.26>Ga_<0.74>N interface.
