Abstract:
A superlattice and method for forming that superlattice are disclosed. In particular, an engineered layered single crystal structure forming a superlattice is disclosed. The superlattice provides p-type or n-type conductivity, and comprises alternating host layers and impurity layers, wherein: the host layers consist essentially of a semiconductor material; and the impurity layers consist of a donor or acceptor material.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of making an electronic device comprising an n-type superlattice providing n-type conductivity and a p-type superlattice providing p-type conductivity, the method comprising the steps of:\n a. for the p-type superlattice, forming on a substrate a first host layer consisting essentially of a group III metal nitride semiconductor material; b. forming above the first host layer an acceptor impurity layer consisting of a monolayer of acceptor atoms; c. forming above the acceptor impurity layer a second host layer consisting essentially of the group III metal nitride semiconductor material; d. repeating steps (b) to (c) until the p-type superlattice reaches a desired thickness or comprises a desired number of alternating host layers and acceptor impurity layers; e. for the n-type superlattice, forming above the p-type superlattice a third host layer consisting essentially of the group III metal nitride semiconductor material; f. forming above the third host layer a donor impurity layer consisting of a monolayer of donor atoms; g. forming above the donor impurity layer a fourth host layer consisting essentially of the group III metal nitride semiconductor material; and h. repeating steps (f) to (g) until the n-type superlattice reaches a desired thickness or comprises a desired number of alternating host layers and donor impurity layers; wherein the group III metal in the group III metal nitride semiconductor material comprises at least about 50% Al by mol.
