Methods of forming semiconductor structures including III-V semiconductor material using substrates comprising molybdenum, and structures formed by such methods

Methods of fabricating semiconductor structures include the formation of molybdenum nitride at one or more surfaces of a substrate comprising molybdenum, and providing a layer of III-V semiconductor material, such as GaN, over the substrate. Semiconductor structures formed by methods described herein may include a substrate comprising molybdenum, molybdenum nitride at one or more surfaces of the substrate, and a layer of GaN bonded to the molybdenum nitride.
