Abstract: Gallium nitride (GaN) transistors with lateral depletion for integrated circuit technology are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a layer including gallium and nitrogen above a silicon substrate, a gate structure over the layer including gallium and nitrogen, a source region on a first side of the gate structure, a drain region on a second side of the gate structure, and a source field plate laterally between the gate structure and the drain region, the source field plate laterally separated from the gate structure.

Abstract: A High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) device can include an AlN buffer layer on a substrate and an epi-GaN channel layer on the AlN buffer layer. An AlN barrier layer can be on the Epi-GaN channel layer to provide a channel region in the epi-GaN channel layer. A GaN drain region can be recessed into the epi-GaN channel layer at a first end of the channel region and a GaN source region can be recessed into the epi-GaN channel layer at a second end of the channel region opposite the first end of the channel region. A gate electrode can include a neck portion with a first width that extends a first distance above the AlN barrier layer between the GaN drain region and the GaN source region to a head portion of the gate electrode having a second width that is greater than the first width.

Abstract: The long-missing polarization-induced two-dimensional hole gas is finally observed in undoped Group III nitride semiconductor structures and in undoped Group II or Group III oxide semiconductor structures. Experimental results providing unambiguous proof that a 2D hole gas in GaN grown on AlN does not need acceptor doping, and can be formed entirely by the difference in the internal polarization fields across the semiconductor heterojunction are presented.
