  • Patent number: 8872233
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a barrier layer, a spacer structure, and a channel layer. The barrier layer includes a group III nitride. The spacer structure includes first and second aluminum nitride layers and an intermediate layer. The intermediate layer includes a group III nitride and is between the first and second aluminum nitride layers. The intermediate layer has a first free charge carrier density at an interface with the second aluminum nitride layer. The spacer structure is between the barrier layer and the channel layer. The channel layer includes a group III nitride and has a second free charge carrier density at an interface with the first aluminum nitride layer of the spacer structure. The first aluminum nitride layer, the intermediate layer, and the second aluminum nitride layer have layer thicknesses so the first free charge carrier density is less than 10% of the second free charge carrier density.
