In one implementation, a stacked composite device comprises a group IV vertical transistor and a group III-V transistor stacked over the group IV vertical transistor. A drain of the group IV vertical transistor is in contact with a source of the group III-V transistor, a source of the group IV vertical transistor is coupled to a gate of the group III-V transistor to provide a composite source on a bottom side of the stacked composite device, and a drain of the group III-V transistor provides a composite drain on a top side of the stacked composite device. A gate of the group IV vertical transistor provides a composite gate on the top side of the stacked composite device.

There are disclosed herein various implementations of composite semiconductor devices. In one implementation, such a composite semiconductor device includes a semiconductor on insulator (SOI) substrate including a diode and an insulator layer. The composite semiconductor device also includes a transition body formed over the diode, and a transistor formed over the transition body. The diode is connected across the transistor using through-semiconductor vias, external electrical connectors, or a combination of the two.

According to one disclosed embodiment, a semiconductor package for integrated passives and a semiconductor device comprises a high permeability structure formed over a surface of the semiconductor package and surrounding a contact body of the semiconductor package, the contact body being connected to an output of the semiconductor device. The contact body can be, for example, a solder bump. The high permeability structure causes a substantial increase in inductance of the contact body so as to form an increased inductance inductor coupled to the output of the semiconductor device. In one embodiment, the semiconductor package further comprises a blanket insulator formed over the high permeability structure, and a capacitor stack formed over the blanket insulator. In one embodiment, the semiconductor device comprises a group III-V power semiconductor device.

In one implementation, a method of forming a P type III-nitride material includes forming a getter material over a III-nitride material, the III-nitride material having residual complexes formed from P type dopants and carrier gas impurities. The method further includes gettering at least some of the carrier gas impurities, from at least some of the residual complexes, into the getter material to form the P type III-nitride material. In some implementations, the carrier gas impurities include hydrogen and the getter material includes at least partially titanium. An overlying material can be formed on the getter material prior to gettering at least some of the carrier gas impurities.

There are disclosed herein various implementations of nested composite switches. In one implementation, a nested composite switch includes a normally ON primary transistor coupled to a composite switch. The composite switch includes a low voltage (LV) transistor cascoded with an intermediate transistor having a breakdown voltage greater than the LV transistor and less than the normally ON primary transistor. In one implementation, the normally on primary transistor may be a group III-V transistor and the LV transistor may be an LV group IV transistor.

According to one exemplary embodiment, a rectifier circuit includes a diode. A first depletion-mode transistor is connected to a cathode of the diode. Also, at least one second depletion-mode transistor is in parallel with the first depletion-mode transistor and is configured to supply a pre-determined current range to a cathode of the diode. A pinch off voltage of the at least one second depletion-mode transistor can be more negative than a pinch off voltage of the first depletion-mode transistor and the at least one second depletion-mode transistor can be configured to supply the pre-determined current range while the first depletion-mode transistor is OFF. Also, the pre-determined current range can be greater than a leakage current of the first depletion-mode transistor.
