Effect of ion implanted sapphire substrates for GaN

GaN 성장을 위한 이온 주입된 사파이어 기판의 효과

We have implanted on sapphire substrate with various ions and investigated the properties of GaN epilayers grown on implanted sapphire substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Sapphire is typical substrate for GaN epilayers. However, there are many problems such as lattice mismatch and thermal coefficient difference between sapphire substrate and GaN. The ion implanted substrate's surface had decreased internal tree energies during the growth of the GaN epilayer, md the misfit strain was relieved through the formation of an AlN phase on the ions implanted sapphire(0001) substrates. [1] The crystal and optical properties of GaN epilayer grown in ions implanted sapphire(0001) substrate were improved.
