Abstract
A semiconductor device may include a semiconductor layer and a superlattice adjacent the semiconductor layer. The superlattice may include a plurality of stacked groups of layers, with each group of layers comprising a plurality of stacked base semiconductor monolayers defining a base semiconductor portion, and at least one non-semiconductor monolayer constrained within a crystal lattice of adjacent base semiconductor portions. The at least one non-semiconductor monolayer in a first group of layers of the superlattice may comprise oxygen and be devoid of carbon, and the at least one non-semiconductor monolayer in a second group of layers of the superlattice may comprise carbon.
