The present disclosure provides a buried channel semiconductor structure in which a crystallographic wet etch is used to tailor the profile of etched regions formed into a multilayered substrate which includes a compound semiconductor layer located atop a buried semiconductor channel material layer. The use of crystallographic wet etching on a compound semiconductor allows one to tailor the shape of a source recess region and a drain recess region formed into a multilayered substrate. This allows for the control of gate overlap/underlap. Also, the use of crystallographic wet etching on a compound semiconductor allows independent control of the length of an underlying buried semiconductor channel region.

Embodiments of this invention provide a method to fabricate an electrical contact. The method includes providing a substrate of a compound Group III-V semiconductor material having at least one electrically conducting doped region adjacent to a surface of the substrate. The method further includes fabricating the electrical contact to the at least one electrically conducting doped region by depositing a single crystal layer of germanium over the surface of the substrate so as to at least partially overlie the at least one electrically conducting doped region, converting the single crystal layer of germanium into a layer of amorphous germanium by implanting a dopant, forming a metal layer over exposed surfaces of the amorphous germanium layer, and performing a metal-induced crystallization (MIC) process on the amorphous germanium layer having the overlying metal layer to convert the amorphous germanium layer to a crystalline germanium layer and to activate the implanted dopant. The electrical contact can be a source or a drain contact of a transistor.

An asymmetric twin waveguide (ATG) structure with an integrated amplifier and detector fabricated in a single active waveguide layer is disclosed. The structure comprises an active waveguide layer formed on a passive waveguide layer. The active and passive waveguides have different effective indices of refraction such that a first mode of light is confined primarily to the active waveguide and a second mode of light is confined primarily to the passive waveguide in the area where the waveguides overlap.

Techniques for fabricating self-aligned contacts in III-V FET devices are provided. In one aspect, a method for fabricating a self-aligned contact to III-V materials includes the following steps. At least one metal is deposited on a surface of the III-V material. The at least one metal is reacted with an upper portion of the III-V material to form a metal-III-V alloy layer which is the self-aligned contact. An etch is used to remove any unreacted portions of the at least one metal. At least one impurity is implanted into the metal-III-V alloy layer. The at least one impurity implanted into the metal-III-V alloy layer is diffused to an interface between the metal-III-V alloy layer and the III-V material thereunder to reduce a contact resistance of the self-aligned contact.
