    摘要: Embodiments include epitaxial semiconductor stacks for reduced defect densities in III-N device layers grown over non-III-N substrates, such as silicon substrates. In embodiments, a metamorphic buffer includes an AlxIn1-xN layer lattice matched to an overlying GaN device layers to reduce thermal mismatch induced defects. Such crystalline epitaxial semiconductor stacks may be device layers for HEMT or LED fabrication, for example. System on Chip (SoC) solutions integrating an RFIC with a PMIC using a transistor technology based on group III-nitrides (III-N) capable of achieving high Ft and also sufficiently high breakdown voltage (BV) to implement high voltage and/or high power circuits may be provided on the semiconductor stacks in a first area of the silicon substrate while silicon-based CMOS circuitry is provided in a second area of the substrate.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention describe a method of fabricating low resistance contact layers on a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device comprises a substrate having source and drain regions. The substrate is alternatingly exposed to a first precursor and a second precursor to selectively deposit an amorphous semiconductor layer onto each of the source and drain regions. A metal layer is then deposited over the amorphous semiconductor layer on each of the source and drain regions. An annealing process is then performed on the substrate to allow the metal layer to react with amorphous semiconductor layer to form a low resistance contact layer on each of the source and drain regions. The low resistance contact layer on each of the source and drain regions can be formed as either a silicide layer or germanide layer depending on the type of precursors used.
