Abstract
The present disclosure describes epitaxial oxide high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). In some embodiments, a HEMT comprises: a substrate; a first epitaxial semiconductor layer on the substrate; and a second epitaxial semiconductor layer on the first epitaxial semiconductor layer. The first epitaxial semiconductor layer can comprise a first oxide material, wherein the first oxide material can comprise a first polar material with an orthorhombic, tetragonal or trigonal crystal symmetry, and wherein the first oxide material can comprise a first conductivity type formed via polarization. The second epitaxial semiconductor layer can comprise a second oxide material.
