Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallium nitride and its alloys have found increasingly widespread application in optical and electronic devices. Device performance can be substantially improved by homoepitaxial growth on GaN thick films or substrates produced by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). To optimize these films, the extended defect and impurity densities must be minimized and the film cracking resulting from the intrinsic growth stress must be prevented. The implications of reactor design and procedure and of the mechanics of cracking for attaining these goals are elucidated in this work.

This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation employs doping to investigate basic gallium nitride (GaN) crystal properties and to solve challenges of the hydride vapour phase epitaxy (HVPE) growth process. Whereas the first chapter is a short introduction to the history of the GaN single crystal growth, the 2nd chapter introduces to current crystal growth techniques, discusses properties of the GaN material system and the resulting influence on the applicable crystal growth techniques. HVPE, as a vapour phase epitaxy crystal growth method will be explained in greater detail, with focus on the used vertical reactor and its capabilities for doping. The 3rd chapter then focusses on point defects in GaN, specifically on intentionally introduced extrinsic point defects used for doping purposes, i.e. to achieve p-type, n-type or semi-insulating behaviour. Different dopants will be reviewed before the diffusion of point defects in a solid will be discussed. The in-situ introduction of iron, manganese, and carbon during crystal growth is employed in chapter 4 to compensate the unintentional doping (UID) of the GaN crystals, and therefore to achieve truly semi-insulating behaviour of the HVPE GaN. However the focus of this chapter lies on the characterisation of the pyroelectric coefficient (p), as semi-insulating properties are a necessary requirement for the applied Sharp-Garn measurement method. The creation of tensile stress due to in-situ silicon doping during GaN crystal growth is the topic of the 5th chapter. The tensile stress generation effect will be reproduced and the strain inside the crystal will be monitored ex-situ employing Raman spectroscopy. The n-type doping is achieved by using a vapour phase doping line and a process is developed to hinder the tensile strain generation effect. The 6th chapter concentrates on the delivery of the doping precursor via a solid state doping line, a newly developed doping method. Similar to chapter 5, the doping line is characterised carefully before the germanium doping is employed to the GaN growth. The focus lies on the homogeneity of the germanium doping and it is compared compared to the silicon doping and the vapour phase doping line. Benefits and drawbacks are discussed in conjunction with the obtained results. The germanium doping via solid state doping line is applied to the HVPE GaN growth process to measure accurately growth process related properties unique to the applied set of GaN growth parameters.

This book was released on 2004-05-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique materials properties of GaN-based semiconductors have stimulated a great deal of interest in research and development regarding nitride materials growth and optoelectronic and nitride-based electronic devices. High electron mobility and saturation velocity, high sheet carrier concentration at heterojunction interfaces, high breakdown field, and low thermal impedance of GaN-based films grown over SiC or bulk AlN substrates make nitride-based electronic devices very promising. The chemical inertness of nitrides is another key property.This volume, written by experts on different aspects of nitride technology, addresses the entire spectrum of issues related to nitride materials and devices, and it will be useful for technologists, scientists, engineers, and graduate students who are working on wide bandgap materials and devices. The book can also be used as a supplementary text for graduate courses on wide bandgap semiconductor technology.

Download or read book Gallium Nitride Epitaxy by a Novel Hybrid VPE Technique written by David J. Miller and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallium nitride is an important material for the production of next-generation visible and near-UV optical devices, as well as for high temperature electronic amplifiers and circuits; however there has been no bulk method for the production of GaN substrates for device layer growth. Instead, thick GaN layers are heteroepitaxially deposited onto non-native substrates (usually sapphire) by one of two vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) techniques: MOVPE (metalorganic VPE) or HVPE (hydride VPE). Each method has its strengths and weaknesses: MOVPE has precise growth rate and layer thickness control but it is slow and expensive; HVPE is a low-cost method for high rate deposition of thick GaN, but it lacks the precise control and heterojunction layer growth required for device structures. Because of the large (14%) lattice mismatch, GaN grown on sapphire requires the prior deposition of a low temperature MOVPE nucleation layer using a second growth process in a separate deposition system. Here we present a novel hybrid VPE system incorporating elements of both techniques, allowing MOVPE and HVPE in a single growth run. In this way, a thick GaN layer can be produced directly on sapphire. GaN growth commences as small (50-100 nm diameter) coherent strained 3-dimensional islands which coalesce into a continuous film, after which 2-dimensional layer growth commences. The coalescence of islands imparts significant stress into the growing film, which increases with the film thickness until catastrophic breakage occurs, in-situ. Additionally, the mismatch in thermal expansion rates induces compressive stress upon cooling from the growth temperature of 1025°C. We demonstrate a growth technique that mitigates these stresses, by using a 2-step growth sequence: an initial high growth rate step resulting in a pitted but relaxed film, followed by a low growth rate smoothing layer. As a result, thick (> 50 [Mu]m) and freestanding films have been grown successfully. X-ray rocking curve linewidth of 105 arcseconds and 10K PL indicating no "yellow" emission indicate that the material quality is higher than that produced by conventional MOVPE. By further modifying the hybrid system to include a metallic Mn source, it is possible to grow a doped semi-insulating GaN template for use in high frequency electronics devices.

Book excerpt: Optoelectronics and electronics of the years to come are likely to change dramatically. Most of the outdoor lighting systems will be replaced by light-emitting diodes that operate in the whole visible part of the electromagnatic spectrum. Transistors operating at high frequency and with high power are under development and likely to hit the market very rapidly. Compact solid-state lasers that operate in the near-ultraviolet range are going to be utilized for such widely used applications as read-write tasks in printer and CD drives. Ultraviolet detectors will be used at a wide scale for many application, ranging from flame detectors to medical instruments. This book concerns itself with the questions why nitride semiconductors are so promising over such a wide range of applications, what the current issues are in the research laboratories, and what the prospects of new electronic devices are in the dawn of the twenty-first century.
