A junction field effect transistor (JFET) comprises an insulating carrier substrate, a base semiconductor substrate formed on the insulating carrier substrate and a gate region formed on the base semiconductor substrate. The gate region forms a junction with the base semiconductor substrate. The JFET further comprises a first source/drain region formed on the base semiconductor substrate and located on a first side of the gate region and a second source/drain region formed on the base semiconductor substrate and located on a second side of the gate region. A gate stack is deposited on the gate region, a first source/drain stack is deposited on the first source/drain region and a second source/drain stack is deposited on the second source/drain region. At least one of the gate stack, first source/drain stack and second source/drain stack overlaps onto another one of the gate stack, first source/drain stack and second source/drain stack.

A semiconductor device contains a JFET with a channel layer having a first conductivity type in a substrate. The JFET has a back gate having a second, opposite, conductivity type below the channel. The back gate is laterally aligned with the channel layer. The semiconductor device is formed by forming a channel mask over the substrate of the semiconductor device which exposes an area for the channel dopants. The channel dopants are implanted into the substrate in the area exposed by the channel mask while the channel mask is in place. The back gate dopants are implanted into the substrate while the channel mask is in place, so that the implanted channel dopants are laterally aligned with the implanted channel dopants.

The benefits of strained semiconductors are combined with silicon-on-insulator approaches to substrate and device fabrication. A structure includes a relaxed substrate including a bulk material, a strained layer directly on the relaxed substrate, where a strain of the strained layer is not induced by the relaxed substrate, and a transistor formed on the strained layer.

The epitaxial material includes an n-type region, an active region comprising at least one light emitting layer overlying the n-type region, and a p-type region overlying the active layer region. The multiple donor wafers are configured to emit different color emissions. The epitaxial material on the multiple donor wafers is patterned to form a plurality of dice, characterized by a first pitch between a pair of dice less than a design width. At least some of the dice are selectively transferred from the multiple donor wafers to a common carrier wafer such that the carrier wafer is configured with different color emitting LEDs.

Transistors and methods of fabricating are described herein. These transistors include a field plate (108) and a charged dielectric layer (106) overlapping at least a portion of a gate electrode (102). The field plate (108) and charged dielectric layer (106) provide the ability to modulate the electric field or capacitance in the transistor. For example, the charged dielectric layer (106) provides the ability to control the capacitance between the gate electrode (102) and field plate (108). Modulating such capacitances or the electric field in transistors can facilitate improved performance. For example, controlling gate electrode (102) to field plate (108) capacitance can be used to improve device linearity and/or breakdown voltage. Such control over gate electrode (102) to field plate (108) capacitance or electric fields provides for high speed and/or high voltage transistor operation.
