    摘要: In some embodiments, a semiconductor structure includes: a first epitaxial oxide semiconductor layer; a metal layer; and a contact layer adjacent to the metal layer, and between the first epitaxial oxide semiconductor layer and the metal layer. The contact layer can include an epitaxial oxide semiconductor material. The contact layer can also include a region comprising a gradient in a composition of the epitaxial oxide semiconductor material adjacent to the metal layer, or a gradient in a strain of the epitaxial oxide semiconductor material over a region adjacent to the metal layer.

    摘要: Semiconductor structures and methods for forming those semiconductor structures are disclosed. For example, a semiconductor structure with a p-type superlattice region, an i-type superlattice region, and an n-type superlattice region is disclosed. The semiconductor structure can have a polar crystal structure with a growth axis that is substantially parallel to a spontaneous polarization axis of the polar crystal structure. In some cases, there are no abrupt changes in polarisation at interfaces between each region. At least one of the p-type superlattice region, the i-type superlattice region and the n-type superlattice region can comprise a plurality of unit cells exhibiting a monotonic change in composition from a wider band gap (WBG) material to a narrower band gap (NBG) material or from a NBG material to a WBG material along the growth axis to induce p-type or n-type conductivity.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure can include a substrate comprising a first in-plane lattice constant, a graded layer on the substrate, and a first region of the graded layer comprising a first epitaxial oxide material comprising a second in-plane lattice constant. The graded layer on the substrate can include (Alx1Ga1−x1)y1Oz1, wherein x1 is from 0 to 1, wherein y1 is from 1 to 3, wherein z1 is from 2 to 4, and wherein x1 varies in a growth direction such that the graded layer has the first in-plane lattice constant adjacent to the substrate and a second in-plane lattice constant at a surface of the graded layer opposite the substrate. In some cases, a semiconductor structure includes a first region comprising a first epitaxial oxide material; a second region comprising a second epitaxial oxide material; and the graded region located between the first and the second regions.
