    摘要: The invention relates to a new High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT), made essentially of layers of Group XIII element(s) nitride(s). Contrary to currently available transistors of this type, the transistor according to the invention is produced on a homosubstrate made of gallium-containing nitride, has no nucleation layer and its buffer layer is remarkably thinner than in known HEMTs.Preferably, at least the buffer layer, being a part of the transistor according to the present invention, is produced by epitaxial methods and the direction of growth of said layer in an epitaxial process is essentially perpendicular to the direction of growth of the substrate. The invention relates also to a method of manufacturing of High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT).

    摘要: A process for obtaining bulk mono-crystalline gallium-containing nitride, liminating impurities from the obtained crystal and manufacturing substrates made of bulk mono-crystalline gallium-containing nitride has been now proposed. According to the invention, the process for obtaining of mono-crystalline gallium-containing nitride from the gallium-containing feedstock in a supercritical ammonia-containing solvent with mineralizer addition is characterized in that the feedstock is in the form of metallic gallium and the mineralizer is in the form of elements of Group I and/or their mixtures, and/or their compounds, especially those containing nitrogen and/or hydrogen, whereas the ammonia-containing solvent is in the form of the mineralizer and ammonia, there are two temperature zones in each step of the process, and the feedstock is placed in the dissolution zone, and at least one mono-crystalline seed is deposited in the crystallization zone, and following the transition of the solvent to the supercritical state, the process comprises the first step of transition of the feedstock from the metallic form to the polycrystalline gallium-containing nitride, and the second step of crystallization of the gallium-containing nitride through gradual dissolution of the feedstock and selective crystallization of gallium-containing nitride on at least one mono-crystalline seed at the temperature higher than that of the dissolution of the feedstock, while all the vital components of the reaction system (including the feedstock, seeds and mineralizer) invariably remain within the system throughout the whole process, and consequently bulk mono-crystalline gallium-containing nitride is obtained. The invention relates also the the post-treatment (slicing, annealing and washing) of the thus obtained crystals.The improved process and the bulk monocrystals obtained thereby are intended mainly for use in the field of opto-electronics.

    摘要: The present invention is related to a process for obtaining a larger area substrate of mono-crystalline gallium-containing nitride by making selective crystallization of gallium containing nitride on a smaller seed under a crystallization temperature and/or pressure from a supercritical ammonia-containing solution made by dissolution of gallium-containing feedstock in a supercritical ammonia-containing solvent with alkali metal ions, comprising: providing two or more elementary seeds, and making selective crystallization on the two or more separate elementary seeds to get a merged larger compound seed. The merged larger compound seed is used for a seed in a new growth process and then to get a larger substrate of mono-crystal gallium-containing nitride.

    摘要: An apparatus includes an autoclave for preparing a supercritical solvent, a convection controller for establishing a convection flow, a dissolution zone where a feedstock is located above the convection controller and a crystallization zone where a seed is located below the convection controller are formed. A convection flow rate of the supercritical solution between the dissolution zone and the crystallization zone is determined by the degree of opening of the convection controller and the temperature difference between the dissolution zone and the crystallization zone. Accordingly, the supercritical solution, in which the nitride has a negative temperature coefficient of solubility, is supplied from the dissolution zone to the crystallization zone in which a seed is located through the convection controller so that nitride crystal is selectively grown on the seed by maintaining supersaturation of the supercritical solution with respect to the seed at a raised temperature.

    摘要: The invention relates to a substrate for epitaxy, especially for preparation of nitride semiconductor layers. Invention covers a bulk nitride mono-crystal characterized in that it is a mono-crystal of gallium nitride and its cross-section in a plane perpendicular to c-axis of hexagonal lattice of gallium nitride has a surface area greater than 100 mm2, it is more than 1,0 μm thick and its C-plane surface dislocation density is less than 106/cm2, while its volume is sufficient to produce at least one further-processable non-polar A-plane or M-plane plate having a surface area at least 100 mm2. More generally, the present invention covers a bulk nitride mono-crystal which is characterized in that it is a mono-crystal of gallium-containing nitride and its cross-section in a plane perpendicular to c-axis of hexagonal lattice of gallium-containing nitride has a surface area greater than 100 mm2, it is more 1,0-μm thick and its surface dislocation density is less than 106/cm2. Mono-crystals according to the present invention are suitable for epitaxial growth of nitride semiconductor layers. Due to their good crystalline quality they are suitable for use in opto-electronics for manufacturing opto-electronic semiconductor devices based on nitrides, in particular for manufacturing semiconductor laser diodes and laser devices. The a.m. bulk mono-crystals of gallium-containing nitride are crystallized on seed crystals. Various seed crystals may be used. The bulk mono-crystals of gallium-containing nitride are crystallized by a method involving dissolution of a gallium-containing feedstock in a supercritical solvent and crystallization of a gallium nitride on a surface of seed crystal, at temperature higher and/or pressure lower than in the dissolution process.
