摘要： Embodiments herein describe techniques for a thin-film transistor (TFT) above a substrate. The transistor includes a contact electrode having a conductive material above the substrate, an epitaxial layer above the contact electrode, and a channel layer including a channel material above the epitaxial layer and above the contact electrode. The channel layer is in contact at least partially with the epitaxial layer. A conduction band of the channel material and a conduction band of a material of the epitaxial layer are substantially aligned with an energy level of the conductive material of the contact electrode. A bandgap of the material of the epitaxial layer is smaller than a bandgap of the channel material. Furthermore, a gate electrode is above the channel layer, and separated from the channel layer by a gate dielectric layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

摘要： Trench-confined selective epitaxial growth process in which epitaxial growth of a semiconductor device layer proceeds within the confines of a trench. In embodiments, a trench is fabricated to include a pristine, planar semiconductor seeding surface disposed at the bottom of the trench. Semiconductor regions around the seeding surface may be recessed relative to the seeding surface with Isolation dielectric disposed there on to surround the semiconductor seeding layer and form the trench. In embodiments to form the trench, a sacrificial hardmask fin may be covered in dielectric which is then planarized to expose the hardmask fin, which is then removed to expose the seeding surface. A semiconductor device layer is formed from the seeding surface through selective heteroepitaxy. In embodiments, non-planar devices are formed from the semiconductor device layer by recessing a top surface of the isolation dielectric. In embodiments, non-planar devices CMOS devices having high carrier mobility may be made from the semiconductor device layer.

摘要： A III-N semiconductor channel is formed on a III-N transition layer formed on a (111) or (110) surface of a silicon template structure, such as a fin sidewall. In embodiments, the silicon fin has a width comparable to the III-N epitaxial film thicknesses for a more compliant seeding layer, permitting lower defect density and/or reduced epitaxial film thickness. In embodiments, a transition layer is GaN and the semiconductor channel comprises Indium (In) to increase a conduction band offset from the silicon fin. In other embodiments, the fin is sacrificial and either removed or oxidized, or otherwise converted into a dielectric structure during transistor fabrication. In certain embodiments employing a sacrificial fin, the III-N transition layer and semiconductor channel is substantially pure GaN, permitting a breakdown voltage higher than would be sustainable in the presence of the silicon fin.
