    Abstract: Gallium nitride transistors having multiple threshold voltages are described. In an example, a transistor includes a gallium nitride layer over a substrate, a gate stack over the gallium nitride layer, a source region on a first side of the gate stack, and a drain region on a second side of the gate stack, the second side opposite the first side, wherein the gate stack has a gate length in a first direction extending from the source region to the drain region, the gate stack having a gate width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to the source region and the drain region. The transistor also includes a polarization layer beneath the gate stack and on the GaN layer, the polarization layer having a first portion having a first thickness under a first gate portion and a second thickness under a second gate portion.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure comprises a first dielectric layer disposed above a substrate. The integrated circuit structure comprises an interconnect structure comprising a first interconnect on a first metal layer, a second interconnect on a second metal layer, and a via connecting the first interconnect and the second interconnect, the first interconnect being on or within the first dielectric layer. A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor is formed in or on the first dielectric layer in the first metal layer adjacent to the interconnect structure. The MIM capacitor comprises a bottom electrode plate comprising a first low resistivity material, an insulator stack on the bottom electrode plate, the insulator stack comprising at least one of an etch stop layer and a high-K dielectric layer; and a top electrode plate on the insulator stack, the top electrode plate comprising a second low resistivity material.

    Abstract: III-N semiconductor heterostructures on III-N epitaxial islands laterally overgrown from a mesa of a silicon substrate. An IC may include a III-N semiconductor device disposed on the III-N epitaxial island overhanging the silicon mesa and may further include a silicon-based MOSFET monolithically integrated with the III-N device. Lateral epitaxial overgrowth from silicon mesas may provide III-N semiconductor regions of good crystal quality upon which transistors or other active semiconductor devices may be fabricated. Overhanging surfaces of III-N islands may provide multiple device layers on surfaces of differing polarity. Spacing between separate III-N islands may provide mechanical compliance to an IC including III-N semiconductor devices. Undercut of the silicon mesa may be utilized for transfer of III-N epitaxial islands to alternative substrates.
