Title: Growth of reduced dislocation density non-polar gallium nitride by hydride vapor phase epitaxy
Usefulness: Growth of reduced dislocation density non-polar gallium nitride by hydride vapor phase epitaxy
Summary: For manufacturing free-standing a-plane GaN film in the manufacture of laser diode, light emitting diode or transistor (claimed).
Novelty: Performing a lateral hydride vapor phase epitaxial overgrowth of planar, non-planar, a-plane gallium nitride film useful for laser diode involves masking sapphire and over growing the film under reduced pressure using hydrogen carrier gas

Background

Gallium nitride (GaN) and its ternary and quaternary compounds incorporating aluminum and indium (AlGaN, InGaN, AlInGaN) have proven useful in fabricating visible and ultraviolet optoelectronic devices and high-power electronic devices. GaN and its alloys are most stable in the hexagonal w'rtzite crystal structure. However, the positions of the gallium and nitrogen atoms in this structure leads to polarization of the GaN crystals along the c-axis. Virtually all GaN-based devices are grown parallel to the polar c-axis, due to the relative ease of growing planar Ga-face planes. In addition, strain at the interfaces between adjacent dissimilar layers causes piezoelectric polarization and subsequent charge separation. These polarization effects decrease the likelihood of electron and hole interaction, which is essential for the operation of light-emitting devices. As a result, eliminating these polarization effects inherent to c-axis oriented devices could greatly enhance the efficiency of GaN light-emitting devices. In addition, defect densities in directly grown GaN films are much higher that those found in more traditional III/V semiconductor systems, such as the arsenides and phosphides.
