摘要： Embodiments include high electron mobility transistors (HEMT). In embodiments, a gate electrode is spaced apart by different distances from a source and drain semiconductor region to provide high breakdown voltage and low on-state resistance. In embodiments, self-alignment techniques are applied to form a dielectric liner in trenches and over an intervening mandrel to independently define a gate length, gate-source length, and gate-drain length with a single masking operation. In embodiments, III-N HEMTs include fluorine doped semiconductor barrier layers for threshold voltage tuning and/or enhancement mode operation.

摘要： III-N transistors with recessed gates. An epitaxial stack includes a doped III-N source/drain layer and a III-N etch stop layer disposed between a the source/drain layer and a III-N channel layer. An etch process, e.g., utilizing photochemical oxidation, selectively etches the source/drain layer over the etch stop layer. A gate electrode is disposed over the etch stop layer to form a recessed-gate III-N HEMT. At least a portion of the etch stop layer may be oxidized with a gate electrode over the oxidized etch stop layer for a recessed gate III-N MOS-HEMT including a III-N oxide. A high-k dielectric may be formed over the oxidized etch stop layer with a gate electrode over the high-k dielectric to form a recessed gate III-N MOS-HEMT having a composite gate dielectric stack.

摘要： An embodiment includes depositing a material onto a substrate where the material includes a different lattice constant than the substrate (e.g., III-V or IV epitaxial (EPI) material on a Si substrate). An embodiment includes an EPI layer formed within a trench having walls that narrow as the trench extends upwards. An embodiment includes an EPI layer formed within a trench using multiple growth temperatures. A defect barrier, formed in the EPI layer when the temperature changes, contains defects within the trench and below the defect barrier. The EPI layer above the defect barrier and within the trench is relatively defect free. An embodiment includes an EPI layer annealed within a trench to induce defect annihilation. An embodiment includes an EPI superlattice formed within a trench and covered with a relatively defect free EPI layer (that is still included in the trench). Other embodiments are described herein.

For example, a semiconductor device includes a vertical arrangement of a plurality of nanowires disposed above a substrate. Each nanowire includes an inner region having a first band gap and an outer cladding layer surrounding the inner region. The cladding layer has a second, lower band gap. A gate stack is disposed on and completely surrounds the channel region of each of the nanowires. The gate stack includes a gate dielectric layer disposed on and surrounding the cladding layer and a gate electrode disposed on the gate dielectric layer. Source and drain regions are disposed on either side of the channel regions of the nanowires.
