The electrical properties and structural defects of p-type GaN layers with Mg concentrations from 8.0 × 1018 to 8.3 × 1019 cm−3 grown by halide vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) were investigated. In all samples, p-type conduction was confirmed at room temperature. The hole concentration at room temperature decreased in a heavily Mg-doped sample. By analyzing the results of Hall-effect measurements at various temperatures, the acceptor concentration decreased in a heavily Mg-doped sample, whereas the compensating donor concentration increased. These results affect the decrease in the hole concentration. The hole mobility decreased with increasing acceptor concentration. In the heavily Mg-doped sample, pyramidal inversion domains (PIDs) were formed. The size of each PID in an HVPE-grown sample is in good agreement with that Mg-doped GaN layers grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Thus, the formation mechanism of PIDs in HVPE-grown samples is possibly the same as that in MOVPE-grown samples. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy shows that Mg atoms accumulate in PIDs, which suggests that Mg atoms in PIDs are electrically inactive, inhibiting the increase in the acceptor concentration. These results are useful guidelines for fabricating p-type GaN layers with higher hole concentrations by HVPE.

An optimized top-down approach was utilized to fabricate vertical GaN-on-GaN nanowire Schottky barrier diodes (NWSBDs) in this letter. The suppressed reverse leakage current and enhanced breakdown voltage (BV) of the vertical GaN NWSBDs are attributed to the reduced electric field at the interface of the Schottky junction achieved through the dielectric reduced surface field technique. As-fabricated NWSBD delivers a low turn-on voltage of 0.80 V, a near-unity ideality factor of 1.04, along with a soft BV of 480 V. The measured soft BV is comparable with the avalanche BV of the p-n diode with a similar net doping concentration in the drift region.

We have demonstrated non-polar GaN power diodes (Schottky barrier diode and p-n junction diode) on foreign substrates featuring the true-lateral p-n and metal-semiconductor junctions. The diodes were fabricated on GaN islands laterally overgrown on the mask-patterned sapphire and Si substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The anode and cathode were formed on the opposed a-plane sidewalls of the island, making the device architecture essentially like the 90° rotation of the desired true-vertical power diodes. The ideality factor of the Schottky barrier diode remained 1.0 (from 1.00 to 1.05) over 7 decades in current. Specifically, a high critical electric field of 3.3 MV/cm was demonstrated on the p-n junction diode with avalanche capability. These performances reveal a strong potential of non-polar GaN with the true-lateral junctions for high power applications.

The stability of graphene and boron nitride for III-nitride epitaxy and post-growth exfoliation.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Chemical Science

A challenging approach, but one providing a key solution to material growth, remote epitaxy (RE)—a novel concept related to van der Waals epitaxy (vdWE)—requires the stability of a two-dimensional (2-D) material. However, when graphene, a representative 2-D material, is present on substrates that have a nitrogen atom, graphene loss occurs. Although this phenomenon has remained a hurdle for over a decade, restricting the advantages of applying graphene in the growth of III-nitride materials, few previous studies have been conducted. Here, we report the stability of graphene on substrates containing oxygen or nitrogen atoms. Graphene has been observed on highly decomposed Al2O3; however, graphene loss occurred on decomposed AlN at temperatures over 1300 °C. To overcome graphene loss, we investigated 2-D hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as an alternative. Unlike graphene on AlN, it was confirmed that h-BN on AlN was intact after the same high-temperature process. Moreover, the overgrown AlN layers on both h-BN/AlN and h-BN/Al2O3could be successfully exfoliated, which indicates that 2-D h-BN survived after AlN growth and underlines its availability for the vdWE/RE of III-nitrides with further mechanical transfer. By enhancing the stability of the 2-D material on the substrate, our study provides insights into the realization of a novel epitaxy concept.
