Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) carbon nanotube gate field-effect transistors (FETs), that use carbon nanotubes to form a gate, and related fabrication methods are disclosed. A carbon nanotube gate can provide for greater channel control and enlarge the effective channel width of the 3D FET, thus increasing drive strength. Carbon nanotubes have lower surface scatter and have been found to be diffusive such that resistance dominates carrier transport, thus causing higher carrier mobility. A 3D FET can be provided that includes a gate formed from carbon nanotube(s) disposed adjacent to a semiconductor channel formed from a carbon nanotube(s). A dual-gate FET can be provided employing a carbon nanotube gate(s) comprising a front and back carbon nanotube with a semiconductor channel formed therebetween.

Abstract: Before a semiconductor die of a brittle III-V compound semiconductor is encapsulated with a molding compound during package fabrication, side surfaces of the semiconductor die are treated to avoid or prevent surface imperfections from propagating and fracturing the crystal structure of the substrate of the III-V compound semiconductor under the stresses applied as the molding compound solidifies. Surfaces are treated to form a passivation layer, which may be a passivated layer of the substrate or a passivation material on the substrate. In a passivated layer, imperfections of an external layer are transformed to be less susceptible to fracture. Passivation material, such as a poly-crystalline layer on the substrate surface, diffuses stresses that are applied by the molding compound. Semiconductor dies in flip-chip and wire-bond chip packages with treated side surfaces as disclosed have a reduced incidence of failure caused by die fracturing.

Abstract: Aspects generally relate to a P−N junction varactor that can be integrated with high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) in a single device or die. The varactor and HEMT are fabricated with different materials forming various layers of the varactor and HEMT. Using different material stack-up to form the varactor and HEMT allows characteristics of the varactor and HEMT to be varied for improved performance in different operating scenarios. The integrated varactor and HEMT device may be used for RF circuits, such as radio frequency front end (RFFE) devices for use in 5G.
