Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for increasing the performance of III-N p-channel devices, such as GaN p-channel transistors. Increased performance is obtained by applying compressive strain to the GaN p-channel. Compressive strain is applied to the GaN p-channel by epitaxially growing a source/drain material on or in the GaN. The source/drain material has a larger lattice constant than does the GaN and puts the p-channel under compressive strain. Numerous III-N material systems can be used

Claim (Index 14):
An integrated circuit device, comprising:\n a substrate having a p-channel region, the substrate comprising a III-Nitride material; a gate electrode above the p-channel region; and a source region and drain a regions each adjacent to the p-channel region, the source and drain regions each exhibiting a lattice constant greater than a lattice constant of the III-Nitride material; wherein the p-channel region is compressively strained.
