Electronic device including a transistor including iii-v materials and a process of forming the same

Abstract

An electronic device can include a transistor. The transistor can include a first layer including a first III-V material, a second layer overlying the first layer and including a second III-V material, and a third layer overlying the first layer and including a third III-V material. In an embodiment, each of the first and second layers includes Al, and the second layer has a higher Al content as compared to the first layer. In another embodiment, the transistor can further include a gate dielectric layer overlying the third layer, and a gate electrode of the transistor overlying the gate dielectric layer and the third layer. The transistor can be an enhancement-mode high electron mobility transistor. The configuration of layers can allow for a relatively higher threshold voltage, as compared to conventional enhancement-mode high electron mobility transistor, to be achieved without significantly affecting R.
