    Abstract: Semiconductor devices are provided. In one example, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor structure having a buried layer at a depth of about 275 Angstroms or greater (e.g., about 500 Angstroms or greater) from a surface of the semiconductor structure. The semiconductor device includes an implanted region extending at least partially through the semiconductor structure and into the buried layer. The implanted region includes a distribution of implanted dopants of a first conductivity type extending into the buried layer. The semiconductor device includes an electrode on the implanted region. In some examples, the semiconductor structure may include an N-polar Group III-nitride semiconductor structure.
