Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 62 . (canceled) 
     
     
         63 : A method of fabricating a power semiconductor device, comprising:
 providing a substrate;   growing a first III-nitride layer using a growth method selected from the group consisting of MBE and HVPE, and a second III-nitride layer over said first III-nitride layer using a MOCVD growth method;   forming an active semiconductor region, wherein at least one of said first and second III-nitride layers act to transition lattice mismatch between said substrate and said active semiconductor region.   
     
     
         64 : The method of  claim 63 , wherein at least one of said first and second III-nitride layers further acts to transition thermal expansion characteristics between said substrate and said active semiconductor region. 
     
     
         65 : The method of  claim 63 , wherein said active semiconductor region comprises first and second III-nitride semiconductor bodies. 
     
     
         66 : The method of  claim 63 , wherein said substrate comprises material selected from the group consisting of silicon, silicon carbide, and sapphire. 
     
     
         67 : The method of  claim 63 , wherein said first III-nitride layer has a uniform composition. 
     
     
         68 : The method of  claim 63 , wherein said first III-nitride layer has a graded composition. 
     
     
         69 : The method of  claim 63 , wherein said second III-nitride layer has a uniform composition. 
     
     
         70 : The method of  claim 63 , wherein said second III-nitride layer has a graded composition. 
     
     
         71 : A method of fabricating a power semiconductor device, comprising:
 providing a substrate;   growing a first III-nitride layer using a MOCVD growth method, and a second III-nitride layer over said first III-nitride layer using a growth method selected from the group consisting of HVPE and MBE;   forming an active semiconductor region, wherein at least one of said first and second III-nitride layers act to transition lattice mismatch between said substrate and said active semiconductor region.   
     
     
         72 : The method of  claim 71 , wherein at least one of said first and second III-nitride layers further acts to transition thermal expansion characteristics between said substrate and said active semiconductor region. 
     
     
         73 : The method of  claim 71 , wherein said active semiconductor region comprises first and second III-nitride semiconductor bodies. 
     
     
         74 : The method of  claim 71 , wherein said substrate comprises material selected from the group consisting of silicon, silicon carbide, and sapphire. 
     
     
         75 : The method of  claim 71 , wherein said first III-nitride layer has a uniform composition. 
     
     
         76 : The method of  claim 71 , wherein said first III-nitride layer has a graded composition. 
     
     
         77 : The method of  claim 71 , wherein said second III-nitride layer has a uniform composition. 
     
     
         78 : The method of  claim 71 , wherein said second III-nitride layer has a graded composition.
