    摘要: An underlying gallium nitride layer on a silicon carbide substrate is masked with a mask that includes an array of openings therein, and the underlying gallium nitride layer is etched through the array of openings to define posts in the underlying gallium nitride layer and trenches therebetween. The posts each include a sidewall and a top having the mask thereon. The sidewalls of the posts are laterally grown into the trenches to thereby form a gallium nitride semiconductor layer. During this lateral growth, the mask prevents nucleation and vertical growth from the tops of the posts. Accordingly, growth proceeds laterally into the trenches, suspended from the sidewalls of the posts. The sidewalls of the posts may be laterally grown into the trenches until the laterally grown sidewalls coalesce in the trenches to thereby form a gallium nitride semiconductor layer. The lateral growth from the sidewalls of the posts may be continued so that the gallium nitride layer grows vertically through the openings in the mask and laterally overgrows onto the mask on the tops of the posts, to thereby form a gallium nitride semiconductor layer. The lateral overgrowth can be continued until the grown sidewalls coalesce on the mask to thereby form a continuous gallium nitride semiconductor layer. Microelectronic devices may be formed in the continuous gallium nitride semiconductor layer.

    摘要: A gallium nitride semiconductor layer is fabricated by masking an underlying gallium nitride layer with a mask that includes an array of openings therein, and growing the underlying gallium nitride layer through the array of openings and onto the mask, to thereby form an overgrown gallium nitride semiconductor layer. Although dislocation defects may propagate vertically from the underlying gallium nitride layer to the grown gallium nitride layer through the mask openings, the overgrown gallium nitride layer is relatively defect free. The overgrown gallium nitride semiconductor layer may be overgrown until the overgrown gallium nitride layer coalesces on the mask, to form a continuous overgrown monocrystalline gallium nitride semiconductor layer. The gallium nitride semiconductor layer may be grown using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. Microelectronic devices may be formed in the overgrown gallium nitride semiconductor layer.

    摘要: A method and resulting ohmic contact structure between a high work function metal and a wide bandgap semiconductor for which the work function of the metal would ordinarily be insufficient to form an ohmic contact between the metal and the semiconductor. The structure can withstand annealing while retaining ohmic characteristics. The ohmic contact structure comprises a portion of single crystal wide bandgap semiconductor material; a contact formed of a high work function metal on the semiconductor portion; and a layer of doped p-type semiconductor material between the single crystal portion and the metal contact. The doped layer has a sufficient concentration of p-type dopant to provide ohmic behavior between the metal and the semiconductor material.
