Abstract

A method for making a semiconductor device may include forming a superlattice comprising a plurality of stacked groups of layers adjacent a substrate. Each group of layers of the superlattice may include a plurality of stacked base semiconductor monolayers defining a base semiconductor portion, and at least one non-semiconductor monolayer constrained within a crystal lattice of adjacent base semiconductor portions. The method may further include forming a high-K dielectric layer on the electrode layer, and forming an electrode layer on the high-K dielectric layer and opposite the superlattice.
