Problems solved by technology

At present, it is found that metal Al has its unique advantages as the substrate material of epitaxial nitride, but the Al substrate is chemically unstable. When the epitaxial temperature is higher than 700 ° C, the epitaxial nitride and the metal substrate will occur. Interfacial reactions seriously affect the quality of epitaxial film growth
Pioneering researcher and well-known scientist Akasaki et al. have tried to apply traditional MOCVD or MBE technology to directly epitaxially grow nitrides on substrate materials with variable chemical properties. At the same time, the thermal mismatch between the Al substrate and AlN and GaN is relatively large, and it is easy to introduce a large stress into the epitaxial film, thereby generating dislocations and cracks in the film and affecting the quality of the GaN film

Abstract

The invention provides an epitaxial growth GaN thin film on a metal Al substrate. The GaN thin film comprises an Al substrate, an AlN buffer layer, a GaN buffer layer, an amorphous AlN insertion layer and a GaN thin film layer, wherein the AlN buffer layer grows on the epitaxial surface of the Al substrate (111); the GaN buffer layer epitaxially grows on the AlN buffer layer; the amorphous AlN insertion layer grows on the GaN buffer layer; the GaN thin film layer epitaxially grows on the amorphous AlN insertion layer; and the crystal epitaxy orientation relationship between the AlN buffer layer and the GaN thin film layer is that GaN (0001) is parallel to AlN (0001) and parallel to Al (111). The high-quality GaN epitaxial thin film is obtained on the Al substrate (111) through selecting proper crystal orientation; and the efficiency of a nitride device is improved.

Background technique [0002] Group III nitride GaN has extremely excellent properties in electricity, optics and acoustics, and has attracted extensive attention in recent years. GaN is a direct bandgap material with fast acoustic wave transmission, good chemical and thermal stability, high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, and high breakdown dielectric strength. It is an ideal material for manufacturing high-efficiency light-emitting diode (LED) devices. If LEDs are to be widely used on a large scale, it is necessary to further improve the luminous efficiency of LED chips. Although the luminous efficiency of LED has surpassed that of fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps, the luminous efficiency of commercial LE...
