A quantum well (QW) layer is provided in a semiconductive device. The QW layer is provided with a beryllium-doped halo layer in a barrier structure below the QW layer. The semiconductive device includes InGaAs bottom and top barrier layers respectively below and above the QW layer. The semiconductive device also includes a high-k gate dielectric layer that sits on the InP spacer first layer in a gate recess. A process of forming the QW layer includes using an off-cut semiconductive substrate.

Non-planar semiconductor devices having group III-V material active regions with multi-dielectric gate stacks are described. For example, a semiconductor device includes a hetero-structure disposed above a substrate. The hetero-structure includes a three dimensional group III-V material body with a channel region. A source and drain material region is disposed above the three-dimensional group III-V material body. A trench is disposed in the source and drain material region separating a source region from a drain region, and exposing at least a portion of the channel region. A gate stack is disposed in the trench and on the exposed portion of the channel region. The gate stack includes first and second dielectric layers and a gate electrode.

Deep gate-all-around semiconductor devices having germanium or group III-V active layers are described. For example, a non-planar semiconductor device includes a hetero-structure disposed above a substrate. The hetero-structure includes a hetero-junction between an upper layer and a lower layer of differing composition. An active layer is disposed above the hetero-structure and has a composition different from the upper and lower layers of the hetero-structure. A gate electrode stack is disposed on and completely surrounds a channel region of the active layer, and is disposed in a trench in the upper layer and at least partially in the lower layer of the hetero-structure. Source and drain regions are disposed in the active layer and in the upper layer, but not in the lower layer, on either side of the gate electrode stack.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide contact techniques and configurations for reducing parasitic resistance in nanowire transistors. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate, an isolation layer formed on the semiconductor substrate, a channel layer including nanowire material formed on the isolation layer to provide a channel for a transistor, and a contact coupled with the channel layer, the contact being configured to surround, in at least one planar dimension, nanowire material of the channel layer and to provide a source terminal or drain terminal for the transistor.

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.

Techniques are disclosed for forming a non-planar germanium quantum well structure. In particular, the quantum well structure can be implemented with group IV or III-V semiconductor materials and includes a germanium fin structure. In one example case, a non-planar quantum well device is provided, which includes a quantum well structure having a substrate (e.g. SiGe or GaAs buffer on silicon), a IV or III-V material barrier layer (e.g., SiGe or GaAs or AlGaAs), a doping layer (e.g., delta/modulation doped), and an undoped germanium quantum well layer. An undoped germanium fin structure is formed in the quantum well structure, and a top barrier layer deposited over the fin structure. A gate metal can be deposited across the fin structure. Drain/source regions can be formed at respective ends of the fin structure.

Non-planar semiconductor devices having channel regions with low band-gap cladding layers are described. 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.

Transistors for high voltage and high frequency operation. A non-planar, polar crystalline semiconductor body having a top surface disposed between first and second opposite sidewalls includes a channel region with a first crystalline semiconductor layer disposed over the first and second sidewalls. The first crystalline semiconductor layer is to provide a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) within the channel region. A gate structure is disposed over the first crystalline semiconductor layer along at least the second sidewall to modulate the 2DEG. First and second sidewalls of the non-planar polar crystalline semiconductor body may have differing polarity, with the channel proximate to a first of the sidewalls. The gate structure may be along a second of the sidewalls to gate a back barrier. The polar crystalline semiconductor body may be a group III-nitride formed on a silicon substrate with the (10 10) plane on a (110) plane of the silicon.
