    Abstract: A High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) includes a source, a drain, a channel layer extending between the source and the drain, a barrier layer formed in contact with the channel layer, and extending between the source and the drain, and a gate formed in contact with, and covering at least a portion of, the barrier layer. The gate has gate edge portions and a gate central portion, and dielectric spacers may be formed over the gate edge portions, with the dielectric spacers having a first width therebetween proximal to the gate, and a second width therebetween distal from the gate, where the second width is longer than the first width.

    Abstract: In a general aspect, a semiconductor device assembly can include a semiconductor substrate that excludes a buried oxide layer. The semiconductor device assembly can also include a first semiconductor device stack disposed on a first portion of the semiconductor substrate, and a second semiconductor device stack disposed on a second portion of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor device assembly can further include an isolation trench having a dielectric material disposed therein, the isolation trench being disposed between the first portion of the semiconductor substrate and the second portion of the semiconductor substrate. The isolation trench can electrically isolate the first portion of the semiconductor substrate from the second portion of the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: An electronic device can include a channel layer; an access region having an aluminum content substantially uniform or increasing with distance from the channel layer; and a gate dielectric layer overlying and contacting the channel layer. A process of forming an electronic device can include providing a substrate and a channel layer of a III-V semiconductor material over the substrate; forming a masking feature over the channel layer; and forming an access region over the channel layer. In an embodiment, the channel layer can include GaN, and the access region has an aluminum content that is substantially uniform or increases with distance from the channel layer. In another embodiment, the process can include removing at least a portion the masking feature and forming a gate dielectric layer over the channel layer. A dielectric film of the masking feature or the gate dielectric layer contacts the channel layer.

    Abstract: An electronic device can include a high electron mobility transistor that includes a buried region, a channel layer overlying the buried region, a gate electrode, and a drain electrode overlying the buried region. The buried region can extend toward and does not underlie the gate electrode. In a particular aspect, the electronic device can further include a p-type semiconductor member overlying the channel layer. The gate electrode can overlie the channel layer, a p-type semiconductor member overlying the channel layer. The drain electrode can overlie and contact the buried region and the p-type semiconductor member. The p-type semiconductor member can be disposed between the gate and drain electrodes. In another embodiment, a source-side buried region may be used in addition to or in place of the buried region that is coupled to the drain electrode.

    Abstract: An electronic device including a transistor structure, and a process of forming the electronic device can include providing a workpiece including a substrate, a first layer, and a channel layer including a compound semiconductor material; and implanting a species into the workpiece such that the projected range extends at least into the channel and first layers, and the implant is performed into an area corresponding to at least a source region of the transistor structure. In an embodiment, the area corresponds to substantially all area occupied by the transistor structure. In another embodiment, the implant can form crystal defects within layers between the substrate and source, gate, and drain electrodes. The crystal defects may allow resistive coupling between the substrate and the channel structure within the transistor structure. The resistive coupling allows for better dynamic on-state resistance and potentially other electrical properties.
