Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a group III-V device including a seed buffer layer that is doped and that is directly on a silicon substrate. In some embodiments, the group III-V device includes the silicon substrate, the seed buffer layer, a heterojunction structure, a pair of source/drain electrodes, and a gate electrode. The seed buffer layer overlies and directly contacts the silicon substrate. Further, the seed buffer layer includes a group III nitride (e.g., AlN) that is doped with p-type dopants. The heterojunction structure overlies the seed buffer layer. The source/drain electrodes overlie the heterojunction structure. The gate electrode overlies the heterojunction structure, laterally between the source/drain electrodes. The p-type dopants prevent the formation of a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) in the silicon substrate, along an interface at which the silicon substrate and the seed buffer layer directly contact.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a method. In this method, a semiconductor wafer having a frontside and a backside is received. A frontside structure is formed on the frontside of the semiconductor wafer. The frontside structure exerts a first wafer-bowing stress that bows the semiconductor wafer by a first bow amount. A characteristic is determined for one or more stress-inducing films to be formed based on the first bow amount. The one or more stress-inducing films are formed with the determined characteristic on the backside of the semiconductor wafer and/or on the frontside of the semiconductor wafer to reduce the first bow amount in the semiconductor wafer.
