Heterogeneous integration of group III nitride on silicon for advanced integrated circuits
Abstract:
Various methods to integrate a Group III nitride material on a silicon material are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a structure including a (100) silicon layer, a (111) silicon layer located on an uppermost surface of the (100) silicon layer, a Group III nitride material layer located on an uppermost surface of the (111) silicon layer, and a blanket layer of dielectric material located on an uppermost surface of the Group III nitride material layer. Next, an opening is formed through the blanket layer of dielectric material, the Group III nitride material layer, the (111) Si layer and within a portion of the (100) silicon layer. A dielectric spacer is then formed within the opening. An epitaxial semiconductor material is then formed on an exposed surface of the (100) silicon layer within the opening and thereafter planarization is performed.
