Abstract

Semiconductor structures and methods for forming those semiconductor structures are disclosed. For example, a p-type or n-type semiconductor structure is disclosed. The semiconductor structure has a polar crystal structure with a growth axis that is substantially parallel to a spontaneous polarization axis of the polar crystal structure. The semiconductor structure changes in composition from a wider band gap (WBG) material to a narrower band gap (NBG) material or from a NBG material to a WBG material along the growth axis to induce p-type or n-type conductivity.
