Abstract:
Nucleation layers for growth of III-nitride structures, and methods for growing the nucleation layers, are described herein. A semiconductor can include a silicon substrate and a nucleation layer over the silicon substrate. The nucleation layer can include silicon and deep-level dopants. The semiconductor can include a III-nitride layer formed over the nucleation layer. At least one of the silicon substrate and the nucleation layer can include ionized contaminants. In addition, a concentration of the deep-level dopants is at least as high as a concentration of the ionized contaminants.

Claim (Index 41):
A layered structure, comprising:\n a substrate; a nucleation layer over the substrate and having deep-level dopants; and a III-Nitride layer over the nucleation layer including:\n a transition layer; \n a buffer layer; \n a gallium nitride (GaN) layer; and \n a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed in the GaN layer; \n wherein:\n at least one of the substrate and the nucleation layer include ionized contaminants, \n a concentration of the deep-level dopants is at least as high as a concentration of the ionized contaminants.
