Epitaxial oxide field effect transistor

Abstract

The present disclosure describes epitaxial oxide field effect transistors (FETs). In some embodiments, a FET comprises: a substrate comprising an oxide material; an epitaxial semiconductor layer on the substrate; a gate layer on the epitaxial semiconductor layer; and electrical contacts. In some cases, the epitaxial semiconductor layer can comprise a superlattice comprising a first and a second set of layers comprising oxide materials with a first and second bandgap. The gate layer can comprise an oxide material with a third bandgap, wherein the third bandgap is wider than the first bandgap. In some cases, the epitaxial semiconductor layer can comprise a second oxide material with a first bandgap, wherein the second oxide material comprises single crystal AxB1-xOn, wherein 0<x<1.0, wherein A is Al and/or Ga, wherein B is Mg, Ni, a rare earth, Er, Gd, Ir, Bi, or Li.
