    摘要: A diode is described with a III-N material structure, an electrically conductive channel in the III-N material structure, two terminals, wherein a first terminal is an anode adjacent to the III-N material structure and a second terminal is a cathode in ohmic contact with the electrically conductive channel, and a dielectric layer over at least a portion of the anode. The anode comprises a first metal layer adjacent to the III-N material structure, a second metal layer, and an intermediary electrically conductive structure between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. The intermediary electrically conductive structure reduces a shift in an on-voltage or reduces a shift in reverse bias current of the diode resulting from the inclusion of the dielectric layer. The diode can be a high voltage device and can have low reverse bias currents.

    摘要: A double barrier resonant tunneling diode (RTD) is formed and integrated with a level of CMOS/BJT/SiGe devices and circuits through processes such as metal-to-metal thermocompressional bonding, anodic bonding, eutectic bonding, plasma bonding, silicon-to-silicon bonding, silicon dioxide bonding, silicon nitride bonding and polymer bonding or plasma bonding. The electrical connections are made using conducting interconnects aligned during the bonding process. The resulting circuitry has a three-dimensional architecture. The tunneling barrier layers of the RTD are formed of high-K dielectric materials such as SiO2, Si3N4, Al2O3, Y2O3, Ta2O5, TiO2, HfO2, Pr2O3, ZrO2, or their alloys and laminates, having higher band-gaps than the material forming the quantum well, which includes Si, Ge or SiGe. The inherently fast operational speed of the RTD, combined with the 3-D integrated architecture that reduces interconnect delays, will produce ultra-fast circuits with low noise characteristics.
