Group III-V semiconductor device with strain-relieving interlayers

摘要

According to one exemplary embodiment, a group III-V semiconductor device includes at least one transition layer situated over a substrate. The group III-V semiconductor device further includes a first strain-relieving interlayer situated over the at least one transition layer and a second strain-relieving interlayer situated over the first strain-relieving interlayer. The group III-V semiconductor device further includes a first group III-V semiconductor body situated over the second strain-relieving interlayer. The first and second strain-relieving interlayers comprise different semiconductor materials so as to reduce a strain in the first group III-V semiconductor body. The second strain-relieving interlayer can be substantially thinner than the first strain-relieving interlayer.
