Impact of growth rate on the productivity of GaN on Si is described as well as the requirements for the epitaxial growth equipment of Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE). In order to compensate the large thermal mismatch between GaN and silicon substrate multi-layer buŠer structure composed of high aluminum containing AlGaN and GaN is used. Because a parasitic reaction between trimethyl-aluminum and ammonia takes place to bring particulates, it is di‹cult to employ high growth rate for AlGaN. However, total process time should be less than 4 hours for the growth of 5 mm thick layers in order to make the total epitaxial cost less than an expected commercial price. Therefore, we must optimize the buŠer layer structure so that the buŠer layer works well as a strain compensating layers as well as the growth time is within an acceptable time limit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
