Electronic device and circuit including a transistor and a variable resistor

Abstract

In an aspect, a circuit can include drain and source terminals; a HEMT having a drain and a source, wherein the drain is coupled to the drain terminal; and a variable resistor having a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode can be coupled to the source of the HEMT, and the second electrode can be coupled to the source terminal. In another aspect, an electronic device can include a source terminal; a heterojunction between a channel layer and a barrier layer; a source electrode of a HEMT overlying the channel layer; a first resistor electrode overlying the channel layer and spaced apart from the source electrode, wherein the first resistor electrode is coupled to the source terminal; and a variable resistor, wherein from a top view, the variable resistor is disposed along the heterojunction between the source electrode and the first resistor electrode.
