    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to semiconductor processing for a self-aligned gate structure and corresponding semiconductor device. In an example, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor gate layer, an offset dielectric layer, and a gate metal contact. The semiconductor gate layer is over the semiconductor substrate. The offset dielectric layer is over the semiconductor gate layer. The gate metal contact is over the offset dielectric layer and is through an opening through the offset dielectric layer. The gate metal contact contacts the semiconductor gate layer through the opening through the offset dielectric layer.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a semiconductor device that includes a gate electrical contact that forms junctions with different energy barrier heights to a gate layer. In an example, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a drain electrical contact, a source electrical contact, a barrier layer, a gate layer, and a gate electrical contact. The drain and source electrical contacts are on the semiconductor substrate. The barrier layer is over a channel region of the semiconductor substrate between the drain and source electrical contacts. The gate layer is over the barrier layer. The gate layer includes first and second semiconductor portions. The gate electrical contact contacts the gate layer. The gate electrical contact includes first and second metal portions. The first and second metal portions form first and second junctions with the first and second semiconductor portions, respectively. The first and second junctions have different energy barrier heights.

    Abstract: Semiconductor devices with a source contact extending into a substrate are described. In one example, a semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate including a source region, a gate region, a drain region, and a drain access region, where a heterojunction structure is disposed over the semiconductor substrate. The heterojunction structure includes a buffer layer over the semiconductor substrate and a barrier layer over the buffer layer. A gate stack is disposed over the barrier layer in the gate region. A source contact in the source region extends into the semiconductor substrate, including a first contact with a 2DEG in the heterojunction structure and a second contact with the semiconductor substrate.
