A group III-V material device may have a capping layer on a barrier region, which may provide a high quality interface for a high-k gate dielectric. This may improve the performance of the device by reducing gate leakage and preserve the high-mobility properties of the quantum well channel region of the device.

A guard ring structure includes a ring of semiconductor material disposed on a substrate. A conductive ring is disposed on the ring of semiconductor material. The conductive ring is interconnected by intervening vias. The guard ring structure may include a plurality of individual rings of the semiconductor material formed concentrically and in close proximity to one another on the substrate. A Guard ring structure is generally disposed around a periphery of a die containing integrated circuits that include transistors RF amplifiers and memory devices to reduce the impact of stresses arising from die sawing to separate individual die in a wafer.

Methods of forming hetero-layers with reduced surface roughness and bulk defect density on non-native surfaces and the devices formed thereby are described. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate having a top surface with a lattice constant and depositing a first layer on the top surface of the substrate. The first layer has a top surface with a lattice constant that is different from the first lattice constant of the top surface of the substrate. The first layer is annealed and polished to form a polished surface. A second layer is then deposited above the polished surface.
