Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments described herein generally relate to a method of fabrication of a device structure comprising Group III-V elements on a substrate. A <111> surface may be formed on a substrate and a Group III-V material may be grown from the <111> surface to form a Group III-V device structure in a trench isolated between a dielectric layer. A final critical dimension of the device structure may be trimmed to achieve a suitably sized node structure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of forming a device structure, comprising: providing a substrate having a surface oriented in a <111> direction; forming a trench having a first region and a second region, wherein a width of the first region corresponds to a width of the surface oriented in a <111> direction, the trench comprising sidewalls, wherein the sidewalls contact the substrate below the surface oriented in a <111> direction; depositing a first layer on the surface…
