  • Patent number: 10818793
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming high mobility NMOS fin-based transistors having an indium-rich channel region electrically isolated from the sub-fin by an aluminum-containing layer. The aluminum aluminum-containing layer may be provisioned within an indium-containing layer that includes the indium-rich channel region, or may be provisioned between the indium-containing layer and the sub-fin. The indium concentration of the indium-containing layer may be graded from an indium-poor concentration near the aluminum-containing barrier layer to an indium-rich concentration at the indium-rich channel layer. The indium-rich channel layer is at or otherwise proximate to the top of the fin, according to some example embodiments. The grading can be intentional and/or due to the effect of reorganization of atoms at the interface of indium-rich channel layer and the aluminum-containing barrier layer. Numerous variations and embodiments will be appreciated in light of this disclosure.
