The epitaxial GaN layer of $120{\mu}m$ ~ $300{\mu}m$ thickness with a stripe Ti mask pattern is performed by hydride vapor phase epitaxy(HVPE). Ti strpie mask pattern is deposited by DC magnetron sputter on GaN epitaxial layer of $3{\mu}m$ thickness is grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy(HVPE). Void are observed at point of Ti mask pattern when GaN layer is investigated by scanning electron microscope. The Crack of GaN layer is observed according to void when it is grown more thick GaN layer. The full width at half maximum of peak which is measured by X-ray diffraction is about 188 arcsec. It is not affected its crystallization by Ti meterial when GaN layer is overgrown on Ti stripe mask pattern according as it is measure FWHM of overgrowth GaN using Ti material against FWHM of first growth GaN epitaxial layer.

A zinc oxide (ZnO) single crystal was used as a substrate in the hydride vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE) growth of GaN and the structural and optical properties of GaN layer were characterized by x- ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and photoluminescence (PL) analysis. Despite a good lattice match and an identical structure, ZnO is not an appropriate substrate for application of HVPE growth of GaN. Thick film could not be grown. The substrate reacted with process gases and Ga, being unstable at high temperatures. The crystallinity of ZnO substrate deteriorated seriously with growth time, and a thin alloy layer formed at the growth interface due to the reaction between ZnO and GaN. The PL from a GaN layer demonstrated the impurity contamination during growth possibly due to the out-diffusion from the substrate.

Along with the use of wide bandgap energy materials such as SiC and GaN in power semiconductors and the development trend of devices, many research results have been reported, including the success of research on AlN single crystals with higher energy gaps and the development of 2-inch single crystal wafers. However, AlN single crystals grown using chemical vapor deposition have been developed into thin films less than a few micrometers thick, but there are almost no results with thicknesses greater than that. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to grow by applying HVPE (Hydride vapor phase epitaxy), one of the chemical vapor deposition methods. The grown AlN single crystal was manufactured using self-designed equipment, and we attempted to establish the conditions for manufacturing AlN single crystals on sapphire wafer. We would like to characterize the growth behavior through an optical microscope observation.

HVPE (Hydride vapor phase epitaxy) is a method of manufacturing thin films or single crystals using gaseous raw materials. This is a method that applies the principles of chemical vapor deposition to grow a single crystal of a material with low meltability or high melting point, and is one of the methods that can obtain a gallium nitride (GaN) single crystal. Recently, much research has been conducted to grow aluminum nitride (AlN) single crystals using this method, but good results have not yet been obtained. In this study, we attempted to grow AlN single crystals using the HVPE method. Nitrogen was used as a carrier gas in the growth process, and the growth results according to changes in the amount of nitrogen (N₂) were examined. Changes in growth crystals as the amount of nitrogen increased were confirmed. The shape of the grown AlN single crystal was observed using an optical microscope, and the rocking curve was measured using double crystal X-ray diffractometry (DCXRD) to confirm the creation of the AlN crystal. The crystallinity of single crystals was also investigated.

In this work, the optical properties of freestanding GaN single crystalline substrate grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy(HVPE) were investigated. The low temperature PL spectrum in freestanding GaN consists of free and bound exciton emissions, and a deep DAP recombination around at 1.8eV. The optically-pumped stimulated emission in freestanding GaN substrate was observed at room temperature. At the maximum power density of 2MW/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the peak energy and FEHM of stimulated emission were 3.318 eV and 8meV, respectively. The excitation power dependence on the integrated emission intensity indicates the threshold pumping power density of 0.4 MW/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

As interest in power semiconductors is growing recently, research on device design and application using light energy gap materials such as SiC and GaN is being actively conducted. Because AlN single crystals have a larger energy gap than the above mentioned materials, research on high-power devices is also in progress, but commercialized wafers have not yet been reported, so research is needed. In this study, we applied the HVPE (Hydride vapor phase epitaxy) method to produce AlN single crystals and attempted to obtain bulk single crystals using our own manufacturing equipment. To this end, we would like to report the results of securing the growth conditions for single crystals. we would like to report on the change in the shape of the grown crystal according to the change in temperature.

Free-standing GaN single crystal substrates have been obtained by growing thick GaN epitaxial layers on (0001) sapphire substrates using hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method. After growing the GaN thick film of 200 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, a free-standing GaN with a size of 10 mm $\times$10 mm were obtained by mechanical polishing process to remove sapphire substrate. Crack-free GaN substrates have been obtained by GaCl pre-treatment prior to the growth of GaN epitaxial layers. Properties of free-standing GaN substrates have been compared with those of lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) GaN films by double-crystal x-ray diffraction (DC-XRD), cathodoluminescence (CL) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements.

In this paper, a selective area growth (SAG) of a GaN/AlGaN double heterostructure (DH) has been performed on r-plane sapphire substrate by using the mixed-source hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) with multi-sliding boat system. The SAG-GaN/AlGaN DH consists of GaN buffer layer, Te-doped AlGaN n-cladding layer, GaN active layer, Mg-doped AlGaN p-cladding layer, and Mg-doped GaN p-capping layer. The electroluminescence (EL) characteristics show an emission peak of wavelength, 439 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of approximately 0.64 eV at 20 mA. The I-V measurements show that the turn-on voltage of the SAG-GaN/AlGaN DH is 3.4 V at room temperature. We found that the mixed-source HVPE method with a multi-sliding boat system was one of promising growth methods for III-Nitride LEDs.
