    摘要: Embodiments include epitaxial semiconductor stacks for reduced defect densities in III-N device layers grown over non-III-N substrates, such as silicon substrates. In embodiments, a metamorphic buffer includes an AlxIn1-xN layer lattice matched to an overlying GaN device layers to reduce thermal mismatch induced defects. Such crystalline epitaxial semiconductor stacks may be device layers for HEMT or LED fabrication, for example. System on Chip (SoC) solutions integrating an RFIC with a PMIC using a transistor technology based on group III-nitrides (III-N) capable of achieving high Ft and also sufficiently high breakdown voltage (BV) to implement high voltage and/or high power circuits may be provided on the semiconductor stacks in a first area of the silicon substrate while silicon-based CMOS circuitry is provided in a second area of the substrate.
