Abstract: Transistors or transistor layers include an InAlN and AlGaN bi-layer capping stack on a 2DEG GaN channel, such as for GaN MOS structures on Si substrates. The GaN channel may be formed in a GaN buffer layer or stack, to compensate for the high crystal structure lattice size and coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between GaN and Si. The bi-layer capping stack an upper InAlN layer on a lower AlGaN layer to induce charge polarization in the channel, compensate for poor composition uniformity (e.g., of Al), and compensate for rough surface morphology of the bottom surface of the InAlN material. It may lead to a sheet resistance between 250 and 350 ohms/sqr. It may also reduce bowing of the GaN on Si wafers during growth of the layer of InAlN material, and provide a AlGaN setback layer for etching the InAlN layer in the gate region.

Abstract translation: 晶体管或晶体管层包括2DEG GaN沟道上的InAlN和AlGaN双层封装叠层，例如用于Si衬底上的GaN MOS结构。 GaN沟道可以形成在GaN缓冲层或堆叠中，以补偿GaN和Si之间的高晶格结构晶格尺寸和热膨胀失配系数。 双层封装在下AlGaN层上堆叠上InAlN层以在沟道中引起电荷极化，补偿较差的组成均匀性（例如Al），并补偿InAlN材料的底表面的粗糙表面形态。 它可能导致250和350欧姆/ sqr之间的薄层电阻。 还可以在InAlN材料层的生长期间减少Si晶片上的GaN的弯曲，并且提供用于蚀刻栅极区域中的InAlN层的AlGaN回填层。

Abstract: Trench-confined selective epitaxial growth process in which epitaxial growth of a semiconductor device layer proceeds within the confines of a trench. In embodiments, a trench is fabricated to include a pristine, planar semiconductor seeding surface disposed at the bottom of the trench. Semiconductor regions around the seeding surface may be recessed relative to the seeding surface with Isolation dielectric disposed there on to surround the semiconductor seeding layer and form the trench. In embodiments to form the trench, a sacrificial hardmask fin may be covered in dielectric which is then planarized to expose the hardmask fin, which is then removed to expose the seeding surface. A semiconductor device layer is formed from the seeding surface through selective heteroepitaxy. In embodiments, non-planar devices are formed from the semiconductor device layer by recessing a top surface of the isolation dielectric. In embodiments, non-planar devices CMOS devices having high carrier mobility may be made from the semiconductor device layer.

Abstract: A III-N semiconductor channel is formed on a III-N transition layer formed on a (111) or (110) surface of a silicon template structure, such as a fin sidewall. In embodiments, the silicon fin has a width comparable to the III-N epitaxial film thicknesses for a more compliant seeding layer, permitting lower defect density and/or reduced epitaxial film thickness. In embodiments, a transition layer is GaN and the semiconductor channel comprises Indium (In) to increase a conduction band offset from the silicon fin. In other embodiments, the fin is sacrificial and either removed or oxidized, or otherwise converted into a dielectric structure during transistor fabrication. In certain embodiments employing a sacrificial fin, the III-N transition layer and semiconductor channel is substantially pure GaN, permitting a breakdown voltage higher than would be sustainable in the presence of the silicon fin.
