Abstract

Embodiments include but are not limited to semiconductor devices including a barrier layer, a gallium nitride channel layer having a Ga-face coupled with the barrier layer, and a thermoconductive layer having a thermal conductivity of at least 500 W/(m·K) within 1000 nanometers of a Ga-face of the gallium nitride channel layer. The semiconductor device may be a high-electron-mobility transistor or a semiconductor wafer. Methods for making the same also are described.
