Abstract: Fabrication methods and gallium nitride transistors, in which an electronic device includes a substrate, a buffer structure, a hetero-epitaxy structure over the buffer structure, and a transistor over or in the hetero-epitaxy structure. In one example, the buffer structure has an extrinsically carbon doped gallium nitride layer over a dual superlattice stack or over a multilayer composition graded aluminum gallium nitride stack, and a silicon nitride cap layer over the hetero-epitaxy structure.

Abstract: A gallium nitride (“GaN”)-based semiconductor device, and method of forming the same. In one example, the semiconductor device includes a channel layer including GaN, and a barrier layer of a first III-N material over the channel layer. The semiconductor device also includes a cap layer of a second III-N material including indium over the barrier layer, wherein the cap layer may have the effect of modifying a threshold voltage and gate leakage current of the semiconductor device.

Abstract: Fabrication methods, electronic devices and enhancement mode gallium nitride transistors include a gallium nitride interlayer between a hetero-epitaxy structure and a p-doped gallium nitride layer and/or between the p-doped gallium nitride layer and a gate structure to mitigate p-type dopant diffusion, improve current collapse performance, and mitigate positive-bias temperature instability. In certain examples, the interlayer or interlayers is/are fabricated using epitaxial deposition with no p-type dopant source. In certain fabrication process examples, epitaxial deposition or growth is interrupted after the depositing an aluminum gallium nitride layer of the hetero-epitaxy structure, after which growth is resumed to deposit the first gallium nitride interlayer over the aluminum gallium nitride layer to mitigate p-type dopant diffusion and current collapse.
