Thermal Stability of MOCVD and HVPE GaN Layers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work represents a complete study of GaN annealed in H2, HCl, NH3 and N2. The GaN thermal behavior was evaluated by comparison of MOCVD and HVPE samples. The MOCVD films were found to obey a dissociative sublimation mechanism with only gaseous species forming, while the HVPE films reacted with ambient gases to form condensed Ga in addition to the gaseous species. Differences in crystal quality for MOCVD and HVPE samples resulting from the different growth mechanisms account for the observed difference. This analysis of the thermal stability of GaN is extended to include how polarity affects the thermal behavior of GaN during growth and annealing of MOCVD and HVPE films.

متن کاملMagnetic resonance studies of defects in GaN with reduced dislocation densities
Magnetic resonance experiments, including optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), have been performed on Si-doped homoepitaxial GaN layers grown by MOCVD and on high quality, free-standing (B200mm-thick) GaN grown by HVPE. This allowed us to obtain information on the properties of native defects and dopants in GaN with a significantly reduced dens...
متن کاملInfluence of stress in GaN crystals grown by HVPE on MOCVD-GaN/6H-SiC substrate
GaN crystals without cracks were successfully grown on a MOCVD-GaN/6H-SiC (MGS) substrate with a low V/III ratio of 20 at initial growth. With a high V/III ratio of 80 at initial growth, opaque GaN polycrystals were obtained. The structural analysis and optical characterization reveal that stress has a great influence on the growth of the epitaxial films. An atomic level model is used to explai...
متن کاملIncreased thermal conductivity of free-standing low-dislocation-density GaN films
1 Introduction GaN-based wide-band gap materials continue to attract significant attention as promising candidates for the next generation of microwave communication systems and optoelectronic devices [1–3]. For all envisioned applications of GaN materials, it is important to effectively remove the generated heat. Thus, the thermal conductivity K value of GaN is a very important characteristic....
متن کاملEnhancing GaN Self Separation in HVPE by Use of Molybdenum
We prepared 2”-GaN wafers as templates for a self separation process which is happening during cooldown after growing thick layers of GaN in our hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) reactor. Our templates process starts with GaN grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) directly on sapphire. These GaN layers are getting masked with 200nm of SiN that is structured by means of optical litho...
