摘要： A method of forming an integrated circuit can include forming a heterostructure over a substrate structure, wherein the given substrate structure comprises a given semiconductor material. The method can include etching a castellated channel region in an e-mode device area of the heterostructure that defines a plurality of ridge channels interleaved between a plurality of trenches, the ridge channels comprising another semiconductor material. The method can also include forming an isolation region on the heterostructure to electrically isolate the e-mode device area from a d-mode device area of the heterostructure. The method can further include forming a mask with an opening that defines a castellated gate opening overlying the castellated channel region and the mask defines an opening overlaying a single planar gate overlying the d-mode device area of the heterostructure. The method can also include performing a contact fill with conductive material to form a castellated gate contact.

摘要： A circuit is provided that includes a castellated channel device that comprises a heterostructure overlying a substrate structure, a castellated channel device area formed in the heterostructure that defines a plurality of ridge channels interleaved between a plurality of trenches, and a three-sided castellated conductive gate contact that extends across the castellated channel device area. The three-sided gate contact substantially surrounds each ridge channel around their tops and their sides to overlap a channel interface of heterostructure of each of the plurality of ridge channels. The three-sided castellated conductive gate contact extends along at least a portion of a length of each ridge channel.
