Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing the same

Abstract

Semiconductor devices including a substrate (e.g., silicon substrate), a multi-layer structure disposed on a portion of the substrate, and at least one electrode disposed on the multi-layer structure and methods of manufacturing the same are provided. The multi-layer structure may include an active layer containing a Group III-V material and a current blocking layer disposed between the substrate and the active layer. The semiconductor device may further include a buffer layer disposed between the substrate and the active layer. In a case that the substrate is a p-type, the buffer layer may be an n-type material layer and the current blocking layer may be a p-type material layer. The current blocking layer may contain a Group III-V material. A mask layer having an opening may be disposed on the substrate so that the multi-layer structure may be disposed on the portion of the substrate exposed by the opening.
