Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, there are large lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch problems between the silicon (Si) substrate and gallium nitride (GaN), among which, the silicon (Si) substrate and gallium nitride (GaN) The degree of lattice mismatch is as high as 20.4%, and the degree of thermal mismatch is as high as 56%, which makes the dislocation density of the gallium nitride (GaN) material epitaxial layer grown on the silicon (Si) substrate is relatively high, resulting in many It is difficult to obtain high-quality gallium nitride (GaN) material epitaxial layer on silicon (Si)
