    Abstract: First, second, and third trenches are formed in a layer over a substrate. The third trench is substantially wider than the first and second trenches. The first, second, and third trenches are partially filled with a first conductive material. A first anti-reflective material is coated over the first, second, and third trenches. The first anti-reflective material has a first surface topography variation. A first etch-back process is performed to partially remove the first anti-reflective material. Thereafter, a second anti-reflective material is coated over the first anti-reflective material. The second anti-reflective material has a second surface topography variation that is smaller than the first surface topography variation. A second etch-back process is performed to at least partially remove the second anti-reflective material in the first and second trenches. Thereafter, the first conductive material is partially removed in the first and second trenches.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transistor device having a donor bi-layer configured to provide low-resistance to source and drain contacts while maintaining a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas within a channel layer, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the transistor device has a channel layer disposed over a substrate and a donor bi-layer disposed over the channel layer. The donor bi-layer includes a mobility-enhancing layer of AlzGa(1-z)N disposed over the channel layer and having a first molar fraction z in a first range, and a resistance-reducing layer of AlxGa(1-x)N disposed on and in contact with the mobility-enhancing layer of AlzGa(1-z)N and having a second molar fraction x in a second range less than the first range. Source and drain contacts are over the resistance-reducing layer of AlxGa(1-x)N. The donor bi-layer has a conduction band energy that monotonically decreases from top to bottom surfaces of the donor bi-layer.

    Abstract: A method includes forming a gate structure over a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate. The SOI substrate comprising: a base semiconductor layer; an insulator layer over the base semiconductor layer; and a top semiconductor layer over the insulator layer. The method further includes depositing a gate spacer layer over a top surface and along a sidewall of the gate structure; etching the gate spacer layer to define a gate spacer on the sidewall of the gate structure; after etching the gate spacer layer, etching a recess into the top semiconductor layer using a first etch process; and after the first etch process, extending the recess further into the top semiconductor layer using a second etch process. The first etch process is different from the second etch process. The method further includes forming a source/drain region in the recess after the second etch process.
