Low on-resistance and high-breakdown-voltage AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) on Si substrate were fabricated. To improve the breakdown voltage of HFET, the total thickness of epitaxial layers was increased and the gate-to-drain spacing was expanded. As a result, the fabricated AlGaN/GaN HFETs with a gate width of 516 mm exhibited a breakdown voltage of 750 V, an on-resistance of 20 m$\Omega$, and a maximum drain current of more than 170 A. The on-resistance–area product ($R_{\text{on}} \times A$) was 0.26 $\Omega$$\cdot$mm2. This value was approximately 1/30 compared with that of conventional Si metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs).
