In the last decade, the III-N compounds have attracted much interest because of their applications in blue, violet and ultraviolet optoelectronics. Most of the devices and research use sapphire as a substrate for epitaxy of nitrides. However, these epi-structures contain a very high dislocation density induced by the 16% lattice mismatch between GaN and sapphire. In our laboratory, we grow single ...
In this paper we review the developments of producing non-polar (i.e. m-plane and a-plane) and semi-polar (i.e. (20.1)-plane) wafers by ammonothermal method. The growth method and polishing results are described. We succeeded in producing 26 mm × 26 mm non- and semi-polar wafers. These wafers possess outstanding structural and optical properties, with threading dislocation density of the order of ...
We investigated the transition energy levels of the vacancy defects in gallium nitride by means of a hybrid density functional theory approach (DFT). We show that, in contrast to predictions from a recent study on the level of purely local DFT, the inclusion of screened exchange stabilizes the triply positive charge state of the nitrogen vacancy for Fermi energies close to the valence band. On the...
A micromachined AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) on a Si substrate with diamondlike carbon/titanium (DLC/Ti) heat-dissipation layers was investigated. Superior thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of GaN enabled DLC/Ti to efficiently dissipate the heat of the GaN power HEMT through the Si substrate via holes. This HEMT with DLC design also mainta...
The growth condition of thin heavily Mg-doped GaN capping layer and its effect on ohmic contact formation of p-type GaN were investigated. It is confirmed that the excessive Mg doping can effectively enhance the Ni/Au contact to p-GaN after annealing at 550 °C. When the flow rate ratio between Mg and Ga gas sources is 6.4% and the layer width is 25 nm, the capping layer grown at 850 °C exhibits th...
The development of SiC and GaN power semiconductor market The current state of SiC technology and market, and the development trend in the next few years. The SiC device market is promising. Sales of Schottky barrier diodes have matured and MOSFET shipments are expected to increase significantly over the next three years. According to Yole Développement analysts, SiC is very mature in terms of dio...
In this paper, using a fully-coupled, three-dimensional electro-thermal device simulator, we study the mechanism of efficiency degradation at high current operation in planar GaN-based light emitting diodes (LED). In particular, the improvement of the efficiency degradation using thicker conductive GaN substrates has been demonstrated. First, it is found that local Joule heating inside thin conduc...
