Abstract:
A group III-N nanowire is disposed on a substrate. A longitudinal length of the nanowire is defined into a channel region of a first group III-N material, a source region electrically coupled with a first end of the channel region, and a drain region electrically coupled with a second end of the channel region. A second group III-N material on the first group III-N material serves as a charge inducing layer, and/or barrier layer on surfaces of nanowire. A gate insulator and/or gate conductor coaxially wraps completely around the nanowire within the channel region. Drain and source contacts may similarly coaxially wrap completely around the drain and source regions.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of fabricating a semiconductor structure, the method comprising:\n forming a first semiconductor material on a second semiconductor material above a substrate, wherein the first semiconductor material comprises a group III-N material; forming a fin from the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material; forming an insulating layer over the fin; forming a gate trench in the insulating layer; removing the second semiconductor material from portions of the fin exposed by the gate trench to provide a nanowire having a channel region comprising the group III-N material; forming a gate stack comprising a gate insulator and a gate conductor coaxially wrapping completely around the channel region of the nanowire; subsequent to forming the gate stack, removing remaining portions of the insulating layer to expose a source region electrically coupled with a first end of the channel region of the nanowire and to expose a drain region electrically coupled with a second end of the channel region of the nanowire, wherein the second semiconductor material is beneath the source and drain regions of the nanowire.
