Abstract:
III-N transistor including a vertically-oriented lightly-doped III-N drift region between an overlying III-N 2DEG channel and an underlying heavily-doped III-N drain. In some embodiments, the III-N transistors are disposed over a silicon substrate. In some embodiments, lateral epitaxial overgrowth is employed to form III-N islands self-aligned with the vertically-oriented drift region. A gate electrode disposed over a portion of a III-N island may modulate a 2DEG within a channel region of the III-N island disposed above the III-N drift region. Charge carriers in the 2DEG channel may be swept into the drift region toward the drain. Topside contacts to each of the gate, source, and drain may be pitch scaled independently of a length of the drift region.

Embodiments of semiconductor assemblies, and related integrated circuit devices and techniques, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a semiconductor assembly may include a flexible substrate, a first barrier formed of a first transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) material, a transistor channel formed of a second TMD material, and a second barrier formed of a third TMD material. The first barrier may be disposed between the transistor channel and the flexible substrate, the transistor channel may be disposed between the second barrier and the first barrier, and a bandgap of the transistor channel may be less than a bandgap of the first barrier and less than a bandgap of the second barrier. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for forming a defect-free semiconductor structure on a dissimilar substrate with a multi-aspect ratio mask. The multi-aspect ratio mask comprises a first, second, and third layer formed on a substrate. The second layer has a second opening wider than a first opening and a third opening in the first and third layers, respectively. All three openings are centered along a common central axis. A semiconductor material is grown from the top surface of the substrate and laterally onto the top surface of the first layer within the second opening. The semiconductor material disposed within and vertically below the third opening is etched by using the third layer as an etch mask so that the remaining material that laterally overflowed onto the top surface of the first layer forms a remaining structure.

Abstract:
The electrical and electrochemical properties of various semiconductors may limit the usefulness of various semiconductor materials for one or more purposes. A completed gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor layer containing a number of GaN power management integrated circuit (PMIC) dies may be bonded to a completed silicon semiconductor layer containing a number of complementary metal oxide (CMOS) control circuit dies. The completed GaN layer and the completed silicon layer may be full size (e.g., 300 mm). A layer transfer operation may be used to bond the completed GaN layer to the completed silicon layer. The layer transfer operation may be performed on full size wafers. After slicing the full size wafers a large number of multi-layer dies, each having a GaN die layer transferred to a silicon die may be produced.
