Abstract

A transistor includes a substrate and a graded layer on the substrate, wherein the graded layer is doped with p-type dopants. The transistor further includes a superlattice layer (SLS) on the graded layer, wherein the SLS has a p-type dopant concentration equal to or greater than 1×1019 ions/cm3. The transistor further includes a buffer layer on the SLS, wherein the buffer layer comprises p-type dopants. The transistor further includes a channel layer on the buffer layer and an active layer on the second portion of the channel layer, wherein the active layer has a band gap discontinuity with the second portion of the channel layer.
