Embodiments herein describe techniques for a thin-film transistor (TFT) above a substrate. The transistor includes a contact electrode having a conductive material above the substrate, an epitaxial layer above the contact electrode, and a channel layer including a channel material above the epitaxial layer and above the contact electrode.

A conduction band of the channel material and a conduction band of a material of the epitaxial layer are substantially aligned with an energy level of the conductive material of the contact electrode. A bandgap of the material of the epitaxial layer is smaller than a bandgap of the channel material. Furthermore, a gate electrode is above the channel layer, and separated from the channel layer by a gate dielectric layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

摘要:
A III-N semiconductor channel is formed on a III-N transition layer formed on a (111) or (110) surface of a silicon template structure, such as a fin sidewall. In embodiments, the silicon fin has a width comparable to the III-N epitaxial film thicknesses for a more compliant seeding layer, permitting lower defect density and/or reduced epitaxial film thickness. In embodiments, a transition layer is GaN and the semiconductor channel comprises Indium (In) to increase a conduction band offset from the silicon fin. In other embodiments, the fin is sacrificial and either removed or oxidized, or otherwise converted into a dielectric structure during transistor fabrication. In certain embodiments employing a sacrificial fin, the III-N transition layer and semiconductor channel is substantially pure GaN, permitting a breakdown voltage higher than would be sustainable in the presence of the silicon fin.

A III-N semiconductor channel is compositionally graded between a transition layer and a III-N polarization layer. In embodiments, a gate stack is deposited over sidewalls of a fin including the graded III-N semiconductor channel allowing for formation of a transport channel in the III-N semiconductor channel adjacent to at least both sidewall surfaces in response to a gate bias voltage. In embodiments, a gate stack is deposited completely around a nanowire including a III-N semiconductor channel compositionally graded to enable formation of a transport channel in the III-N semiconductor channel adjacent to both the polarization layer and the transition layer in response to a gate bias voltage.
