摘要: Methods of in situ fabrication and formation of horizontal nanowires for a semiconductor device employ non-catalytic selective area epitaxial growth to selectively grow a semiconductor material in a selective area opening of predefined asymmetrical geometry. The selective area opening is defined in a dielectric layer to expose a semiconductor layer underlying the dielectric layer. The non-catalytic selective area epitaxial growth is performed at a growth temperature sufficient to also in situ form a linear stress crack of nanoscale width that is nucleated from a location in a vicinity of the selective area opening and that propagates in a uniform direction along a crystal plane of the semiconductor layer in both the semiconductor layer and the dielectric layer as a linear nanogap template. The semiconductor material is further selectively grown to fill the linear nanogap template to in situ form the nanowire that is uniformly linear.

摘要: A III-nitride power handling device and the process of making the III-nitride power handling device are disclosed that use digital alloys as back barrier layer to mitigate the strain due to lattice mismatch between the channel layer and the back barrier layer and to provide increased channel conductivity. An embodiment discloses a GaN transistor using a superlattice binary digital alloy as back barrier comprising alternative layers of AlN and GaN. Other embodiments include using superlattice structures with layers of GaN and AlGaN as well as structures using AlGaN/AlGaN stackups that have different Aluminum concentrations. The disclosed device has substantially increased channel conductivity compared to traditional analog alloy back barrier devices.

摘要: Lateral PN junctions and diodes and transistors comprising lateral PN junctions and methods used in making such devices are disclosed. A method of fabricating a lateral PN junction, can comprise: conformally growing p−GaN material on a n−GaN vertical surface extending vertically from an n−GaN horizontal surface on an n−GaN drift layer to form a first PN junction, wherein the n−GaN horizontal surface extends horizontally from the n−GaN vertical surface and the n−GaN horizontal surface has a layer of dielectric material formed on the n−GaN horizontal surface that extends from the p−GaN surface.
