宽周期掩膜法HVPE侧向外延自支撑GaN的研究

GaN膜在传统生长过程中主要通过异质外延获得,这往往会产生晶格失配和热失配,给GaN带来严重的位错和应力。目前降低位错最广泛的方法是使用侧向外延技术。在这项工作中,首先在蓝宝石基GaN衬底上沉积了一层SiO₂,并用光刻的方法将其制备成高掩膜宽度(窗口宽度20 μm/掩膜宽度280 μm)的宽周期掩膜,再通过氢化物气相外延(HVPE)侧向外延了厚度为325 μm的GaN厚膜,通过胶带可以将其进行剥离形成自支撑衬底。同时通过二维的Wulff结构图研究了GaN生长过程中晶面的变化趋势。宽周期掩膜法对于生长可剥离的低位错密度自支撑GaN有着重大意义。

AlGaN基深紫外LED的外延生长及光电性能研究

AlGaN基材料作为带隙可调的直接带隙宽禁带半导体材料,是制备紫外光电子器件的理想材料。在无法获得大尺寸、低成本的同质衬底的情况下,高质量AlN薄膜的异质外延是促进紫外光电子器件发展的关键。本文中,通过调节蓝宝石衬底上AlN的金属有机物化学气相沉积(MOCVD)生长模式产生高密度纳米级孔洞,利用纳米级孔洞降低AlN的位错,并在此基础上外延了AlGaN量子阱结构,得到了275 nm波段的深紫外LED薄膜,并制备了开启电压约为4.8 V,反向漏电电流仅为2.23 μA(-3.0 V电压时)的深紫外LED器件。     

石墨烯上外延GaN薄膜的取向演变研究

本文研究了在石墨烯上生长GaN薄膜时晶体取向的变化.采用AlN成核层辅助生长,GaN由取向相差较大的小晶粒,逐渐合并为与石墨烯取向一致的晶粒,最终形成了约4.6μm厚的GaN薄膜.通过EBSD和XRD证实了GaN晶体取向一致性的提高,拉曼光谱也表明GaN晶体的高质量.     

Epitaxy of III-nitrides on two-dimensional materials and its applications

III-nitride semiconductor materials have excellent optoelectronic properties, mechanical properties, and chemical stability, which have important applications in the field of optoelectronics and microelectronics. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been widely focused in recent years due to their peculiar properties. With the property of weak bonding between layers of 2D materials, the growth of III-nitrides on 2D materials has been proposed to solve the mismatch problem caused by heterogeneous epitaxy and to develop substrate stripping techniques to obtain high-quality, low-cost nitride materials for high-quality nitride devices and their extension in the field of flexible devices. In this progress report, the main methods for the preparation of 2D materials, and the recent progress and applications of different techniques for the growth of III-nitrides based on 2D materials are reviewed.
