    Abstract: Group III-N transistors of complementary conductivity type employing two polarization junctions of complementary type. Each III-N polarization junction may include two III-N material layers having opposite crystal polarities. The opposing polarities may induce a two-dimensional charge sheet within each of the two III-N material layers. Opposing crystal polarities may be induced through introduction of an intervening layer between two III-N material layers. A III-N heterostructure may include two III-N polarization junctions. A 2D electron gas (2DEG) is induced at a first polarization junction and a 2D hole gas (2DHG) is induced at the second polarization junction. Transistors of complementary type may utilize a separate one of the polarization junctions, enabling III-N transistors to implement CMOS circuitry.

    Abstract: Group III-V semiconductor fuses and their methods of fabrication are described. In an example, a fuse includes a gallium nitride layer on a substrate. An oxide layer is disposed in a trench in the gallium nitride layer. A first contact is on the gallium nitride layer on a first side of the trench, the first contact comprising indium, gallium and nitrogen. A second contact is on the gallium nitride layer on a second side of the trench, the second side opposite the first side, the second contact comprising indium, gallium and nitrogen. A filament is over the oxide layer in the trench, the filament coupled to the first contact and to the second contact wherein the filament comprises indium, gallium and nitrogen.
