Abstract:
A method for integrating epitaxial, metallic transition metal nitride (TMN) layers within a compound semiconductor device structure. The TMN layers have a similar crystal structure to relevant semiconductors of interest such as silicon carbide (SiC) and the Group III-Nitrides (III-Ns) such as gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN), indium nitride (InN), and their various alloys. Additionally, the TMN layers have excellent thermal stability and can be deposited in situ with other semiconductor materials, allowing the TMN layers to be buried within the semiconductor device structure to create semiconductor/metal/semiconductor heterostructures and superlattices.
