Analysis of the growth of GaN epitaxy on silicon

Due to the great potential of GaN based devices,the analysis of the growth of crack-free GaN with high quality has always been a research hotspot.In this paper,two methods for improving the property of the GaN epitaxial layer on Si (111) substrate are researched.Sample A,as a reference,only has an AlN buffer between the Si substrate and the epitaxy.In the following two samples,a GaN transition layer (sample B) and an AlGaN buffer (sample C) are grown on the AlN buffer separately.Both methods improve the quality of GaN.Meanwhile,using the second method,the residual tensile thermal stress decreases.To further study the impact of the two introduced layers,we investigate the stress condition of GaN epitaxial layer by Raman spectrum.According to the Raman spectrum,the calculated residual stress in the GaN epitaxial layer is approximately 0.72 GPa for sample B and 0.42 GPa for sample C.The photoluminescence property of GaN epitaxy is also investigated by room temperature PL spectrum.

Structural and optical characterization of GaN grown on porous silicon substrate by MOVPE

GaN was grown on porous silicon (PS) substrates by Metalorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy at temperature of 1050 °C. An additional AlN buffer layer is used between GaN and PS. The crystalline quality and surface morphology of GaN films were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. Preferential growth of hexagonal GaN with 〈00.1〉 direction is observed and is clearly improved when the thickness of AlN buffer layer increases. Morphological changes in PS layer appearing after growth have been also discussed.GaN optical qualities were determined by photoluminescence at low and room temperature (RT).     

Nucleation and growth behavior for GaN grown on (0001) sapphire via multistep growth approach

Formation and coalescence of GaN truncated three dimensional islands (TTIs) on (0001) sapphire are observed during growth of GaN using a close spaced metalorganic chemical vapor deposition reactor. To encourage formation of TTIs to occur uniformly over the buffer layer, growth conditions are chosen under which thermal desorption and/or mass transport of the buffer layer can be suppressed. During coalescence of TTIs, growth conditions that favor higher desorption of species on the GaN (0001) surface and incorporation on other planes are beneficial. Therefore, changing the growth conditions as the growth mode changes is effective to obtain both good crystallinity and flat surface morphology.     

Investigations of GaN growth on the sapphire substrate by MOCVD method with different AlN buffer deposition temperatures

The effects of different AlN buffer deposition temperatures on the GaN material properties grown on sapphire substrate was investigated. At relatively higher AlN buffer growth temperature, the surface morphology of subsequent grown GaN layer was decorated with island-like structure and revealed the mixed-polarity characteristics. In addition, the density of screw TD and leakage current in the GaN film was also increased. The occurrence of mixed-polarity GaN material result could be from unintentional nitridation of the sapphire substrate by ammonia (NH₃) precursor at the beginning of the AlN buffer layer growth. By using two-step temperature growth process for the buffer layer, the unintentional nitridation could be effectively suppressed. The GaN film grown on this buffer layer exhibited a smooth surface, single polarity, high crystalline quality and high resistivity. AlGaN/GaN high electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) devices were also successfully fabricated by using the two-step AlN buffer layer.     

Growth and characterization of GaN thin films on SiC SOI substrates

SiC semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) structures have been investigated as substrates for the growth of GaN films. The SiC SOI was obtained through the conversion of Si SOI wafers by reaction with propane and H₂. (111) SiC SOI have been produced by this carbonization process at temperatures ranging from 1200 to 1300°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) are used to chart the conversion of the Si layer to SiC. Under our conditions, growth time of 3 min at 1250°C is sufficient to completely convert a 1000? layer. XRD of the SiC SOI reveals a single SiC peak at 2θ = 35.7° corresponding to the (111) reflection, with a corrected full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of ~590±90 arc-sec. Infrared spectroscopy of SiC SOI structures obtained under optimum carboniza-tion conditions exhibited a sharp absorption peak produced by the Si-C bond at 795 cm⁻¹, with FWHM of ∼ 20–25 cm⁻¹. Metalorganic CVD growth of GaN on the (111) SiC SOI was carried out with trimethylgallium and NH₃. The growth of a thin (≤200?), low temperature (500°C) GaN buffer layer was followed by the growth of a thick (∼2 μm) layer at 1050°C. Optimum surface morphology was obtained for zero buffer layer. XRD indicates highly oriented hexagonal GaN, with FWHM of the (0002) peak of ~360±90 arc-sec. Under high power excitation, the 300°K photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of GaN films exhibits a strong near band-edge peak (at λ_p~371 nm, with FWHM = 100–150 meV) and very weak yellow emission. Under low power excitation, the 370 nm PL emission from the GaN/SiC SOI structure increases rapidly with SiC carbonization temperature, while the yellow band (∼550–620 nm) correspondingly decreases.
