    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a first major surface; a semiconductor device structure over the first surface of the substrate, the device structure comprising an n-type semiconductor layer, and a p-type semiconductor layer over the n-type semiconductor layer; a p-side electrode having a first and a second surface, wherein the first surface is in electrical contact with the p-type semiconductor layer; and a p-side bonding pad over the p-side electrode. Preferably, the semiconductor device further comprises an n-side bonding pad over an n-type semiconductor layer. The p-side and n-side bonding pads each independently includes a gold layer as its top layer and a single or multiple layers of a diffusion barrier under the top gold layer. Optionally, one or more metal layers are further included under the diffusion barrier. Typically, the p-side bonding pad is formed on the p-side electrode. The n-side bonding pad typically is formed on the n-type semiconductor layer, and forms a good ohmic contact with the n-type semiconductor layer.

    摘要: An improved electrode for a p-type gallium nitride based semiconductor material is disclosed that includes a layer of an oxidized metal and a first and a second layer of a metallic material. The electrode is formed by depositing three or more metallic layers over the p-type semiconductor layer such that at least one metallic layer is in contact with the p-type semiconductor layer. At least two of the metallic layers are then subjected to an annealing treatment in the presence of oxygen to oxidize at least one of the metallic layers to form a metal oxide. The electrodes provide good ohmic contacts to p-type gallium nitride-based semiconductor materials and, thus, lower the operating voltage of gallium nitride-based semiconductor devices.

    摘要: A method of forming gallium arsenide on silicon heterostructure including the use of strained layer superlattices in combination with rapid thermal annealing to achieve a reduced threading dislocation density in the epilayers. Strain energy within the superlattices causes threading dislocations to bend, preventing propagation through the superlattices to the epilayer. Rapid thermal annealing causes extensive realignment and annihilation of dislocations of opposite Burgers vectors and a further reduction of threading dislocations in the epilayer.

    摘要: Epitaxial gallium nitride is grown on a silicon substrate while reducing or suppressing the formation of a buffer layer. The gallium nitride may be grown directly on the silicon substrate, for example using domain epitaxy. Alternatively, less than one complete monolayer of silicon nitride may be formed between the silicon and the gallium nitride. Subsequent to formation of the gallium nitride, an interfacial layer of silicon nitride may be formed between the silicon and the gallium nitride.
