Book III Nitride Based Light Emitting Diodes and Applications

Download or read book III Nitride Based Light Emitting Diodes and Applications written by Tae-Yeon Seong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revised edition of this important book presents updated and expanded coverage of light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on heteroepitaxial GaN on Si substrates, and includes new chapters on tunnel junction LEDs, green/yellow LEDs, and ultraviolet LEDs. Over the last two decades, significant progress has been made in the growth, doping and processing technologies of III-nitride based semiconductors, leading to considerable expectations for nitride semiconductors across a wide range of applications. LEDs are already used in traffic signals, signage lighting, and automotive applications, with the ultimate goal of the global replacement of traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamps, thus reducing energy consumption and cutting down on carbon-dioxide emission. However, some critical issues must be addressed to allow the further improvements required for the large-scale realization of solid-state lighting, and this book aims to provide the readers with details of some contemporary issues on which the performance of LEDs is seriously dependent. Most importantly, it describes why there must be a breakthrough in the growth of high-quality nitride semiconductor epitaxial layers with a low density of dislocations, in particular, in the growth of Al-rich and In-rich GaN-based semiconductors. The quality of materials is directly dependent on the substrates used, such as sapphire and Si, and the book discusses these as well as topics such as efficiency droop, growth in different orientations, polarization, and chip processing and packaging technologies. Offering an overview of the state of the art in III-Nitride LED science and technology, the book will be a core reference for researchers and engineers involved with the developments of solid state lighting, and required reading for students entering the field.

Book Vertical Gallium Nitride Power Devices on Bulk Native Substrates

Download or read book Vertical Gallium Nitride Power Devices on Bulk Native Substrates written by Min Sun (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lateral power devices based on AlGaN/GaN hetero-structures have achieved excellent performance in the medium power range applications. However for higher voltage higher current switches, a vertical structure is preferred since its die area does not depend on the breakdown voltage. This thesis studies vertical GaN power diodes and transistors grown on bulk GaN substrates. The first part of the thesis studies the PiN diode. Low p-GaN ohmic contact resistance is obtained through annealing in oxygen ambient. The breakdown voltage reaches 1200 V with optimized field plate design. The resistance components of the PiN diodes are also analyzed in this part of the thesis. The second half of the thesis presents a novel vertical power FinFET design with only n-GaN epi-layers. One of the key fabrication processes required for this device structure is to achieve a smooth vertical fin sidewall by combining dry/wet etch. The normally-off power FinFET demonstrates excellent performances without the need of p-GaN layer or material regrowth. With the optimization of edge termination structures, 800 V blocking voltage was achieved. A further reduction of on resistance is achieved by increasing the cap layer doping. Switching characteristics are investigated by capacitance measurements. The thesis concludes with the demonstration of spalling off the bulk GaN substrate after device fabrication. Thanks to the substrate spalling technology, the on resistance of the device can be further reduced and the bulk GaN substrate could possibly be reused to save cost.

Book Vertical Gallium Nitride PowerDevices  Fabrication and Characterisation

Download or read book Vertical Gallium Nitride PowerDevices Fabrication and Characterisation written by Rico Hentschel and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-01-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficient power conversion is essential to face the continuously increasing energy consumption of our society. GaN based vertical power field effect transistors provide excellent performance figures for power-conversion switches, due to their capability of handling high voltages and current densities with very low area consumption. This work focuses on a vertical trench gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) with conceptional advantages in a device fabrication preceded GaN epitaxy and enhancement mode characteristics. The functional layer stack comprises from the bottom an n+/n--drift/p-body/n+-source GaN layer sequence. Special attention is paid to the Mg doping of the p-GaN body layer, which is a complex topic by itself. Hydrogen passivation of magnesium plays an essential role, since only the active (hydrogen-free) Mg concentration determines the threshold voltage of the MOSFET and the blocking capability of the body diode. Fabrication specific challenges of the concept are related to the complex integration, formation of ohmic contacts to the functional layers, the specific implementation and processing scheme of the gate trench module and the lateral edge termination. The maximum electric field, which was achieved in the pn- junction of the body diode of the MOSFET is estimated to be around 2.1 MV/cm. From double-sweep transfer measurements with relatively small hysteresis, steep subthreshold slope and a threshold voltage of 3 - 4 V a reasonably good Al2O3/GaN interface quality is indicated. In the conductive state a channel mobility of around 80 - 100 cm2/Vs is estimated. This value is comparable to device with additional overgrowth of the channel. Further enhancement of the OFF-state and ON-state characteristics is expected for optimization of the device termination and the high-k/GaN interface of the vertical trench gate, respectively. From the obtained results and dependencies key figures of an area efficient and competitive device design with thick drift layer is extrapolated. Finally, an outlook is given and advancement possibilities as well as technological limits are discussed.

Center for Materials Research and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The synthesis and characterization of hetero-epitaxial gallium nitride (GaN) films were undertaken with particular reference to the phenomenon of light emission. Gallium nitride was grown by the chemical vapor deposition technique using sapphire substrates. Techniques for characterization included optical, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopy and measurements of various electrical and optical properties of the films. The thin films of GaN were doped during growth with zinc and magnesium to form n-i junctions. Such material provided the basis for the fabrication of m-i-n light-emitting diodes, which emitted light in the high-energy violet region of the visible spectrum with Mg doping and green light with Zn doping.

Book Heteroepitaxial Thick GaN Layers and Vertical High Power Devices by Selective Area MOCVD Growth

Download or read book Heteroepitaxial Thick GaN Layers and Vertical High Power Devices by Selective Area MOCVD Growth written by Atsunori Tanaka and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallium nitride (GaN) is now widely used in commercial white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) thanks to the emergence of high-brightness GaN blue LEDs in 1990s. In addition to its application in solid-state lighting, GaN has been also vowed as a strong contender for next-generation high power and frequency devices due to its high critical electric field (3.3 MV/cm) and high mobility of the 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN)/GaN interface. Lateral AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility-transistors (HEMTs) have been available as commercial off-the-shelf devices since 2005. However, with the demand for even higher power at reduced chip area and cost and with better thermal management at high currents, vertical device architectures have emerged as the chosen structure to meet these demands. But vertical devices that can hold high power require thick and high quality GaN layers. Recent developments of bulk GaN substrate growth technologies allowed vertical GaN device with thick drift layer to be more feasible. However, GaN substrate technology is challenged with cost, reliability and uniformity issues even at the currently commercially available 2" (diameter) substrates. Therefore, GaN vertical power devices on cheap substrates without compromising the GaN material quality remains to be of great interest. Si substrates with their fab-scale integrated circuit technology can propel the development of commercial vertical high power GaN devices. The biggest challenge for realizing thick GaN layers on Si to hold high voltage in the vertical direction is the large thermal and lattice mismatch between GaN and Si that leads to cracking of the GaN layers beyond only a few micrometers. In major part of this dissertation, we will focus on the epitaxy techniques of thick crack-free GaN layers on Si by selective area growth (SAG) and the fabrication of vertical GaN switches. The epitaxy technique developed in this work resulted in crack-free thick GaN layers on Si that are of high quality with low dislocation densities and low background doping in order to sustain high breakdown voltages. The developed processes hold the potential to significantly advance the fundamental electronic materials research in power devices and their efficient system level integration.
