Abstract: A Si(1-x)MxC material for heterostructures on SiC can be grown by CVD, PVD and MOCVD. SIC doped with a metal such as Al modifies the bandgap and hence the heterostructure. Growth of SiC Si(1-x)MxC heterojunctions using SiC and metal sources permits the fabrication of improved HFMTs (high frequency mobility transistors), HBTs (heterojunction bipolar transistors), and HEMTs (high electron mobility transistors).

Abstract: A substrate arrangement for high power semiconductor devices includes a SiC wafer having a Si layer deposited on a surface of the SiC wafer. An SOI structure having a first layer of Si, an intermediate layer of SiO2 and a third layer of Si, has its third layer of Si bonded to the Si deposited on the SiC wafer, forming a unitary structure. The first layer of Si and the intermediate layer of SiO2 of the SOI are removed, leaving a pure third layer of Si on which various semiconductor devices may be fabricated. The third layer of Si and deposited Si layer may be removed over a portion of the substrate arrangement such that one or more semiconductor devices may be fabricated on the SiC wafer while other semiconductor devices may be accommodated on the pure third layer of Si.

Abstract: A HEMT type device which has pillars with vertical walls perpendicular to a substrate. The pillars are of an insulating semiconductor material such as GaN. Disposed on the side surfaces of the pillars is a barrier layer of a semiconductor material such as AlGaN having a bandgap greater than that of the insulating material of the pillars. Electron flow is confined to a narrow channel at the interface of the two materials. Suitable source, drain and gate contacts are included for HEMT operation.
