Self-aligned transistor structures enabling ultra-short channel lengths
Techniques are disclosed for forming self-aligned transistor structures including two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) source/drain tip portions or tips. In some cases, the 2DEG source/drain tips utilize polarization doping to enable ultra-short transistor channel lengths of less than 20 nm, for example, and create highly conductive, thin source/drain tip portions in transistor devices. In some instances, the 2DEG source/drain tips can be formed by self-aligned regrowth of a polarization layer over a base III-V compound layer and on either side of a dummy gate, in locations to be substantially covered by spacers. In some cases, the III-V base layer may include gallium nitride (GaN) or indium gallium nitride (InGaN), for example, and the polarization layer may include aluminum indium nitride (AlInN), aluminum nitride (AlN), aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN), or aluminum indium gallium nitride (AlInGaN), for example.
