4H-polytype gallium nitride-based semiconductor device on a 4H-polytype substrate

4H-InGaAlN alloy based optoelectronic and electronic devices on non-polar face are formed on 4H-AlN or 4H-AlGaN on (11-20) a-face 4H-SiC substrates. Typically, non polar 4H-AlN is grown on 4H-SiC (11-20) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Subsequently, III-V nitride device layers are grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with 4H-polytype for all of the layers. The non-polar device does not contain any built-in electric field due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization. The optoelectonic devices on the non-polar face exhibits higher emission efficiency with shorter emission wavelength because the electrons and holes are not spatially separated in the quantum well. Vertical device configuration for lasers and light emitting diodes(LEDs) using conductive 4H-AlGaN interlayer on conductive 4H-SiC substrates makes the chip size and series resistance smaller. The elimination of such electric field also improves the performance of high speed and high power transistors. The details of the epitaxial growth s and the processing procedures for the non-polar III-V nitride devices on the non-polar SiC substrates are also disclosed.

Enhancement of thermoelectric properties through polarization engineering

A method for enhancement of thermoelectric properties through polarization engineering. Internal electric fields created within a material are used to spatially confine electrons for the purpose of enhancing thermoelectric properties. Electric fields can be induced within a material by the presence of bound charges at interfaces. A combination of spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization can induce this interfacial charge. The fields created by these bound charges have the effect of confining charge carriers near these interfaces. By confining charge carriers to a channel where scattering centers can be deliberately excluded the electron mobility can be enhanced, thus enhancing thermoelectric power factor. Simultaneously, phonons will not be affected by the fields and thus will be subject to the many scattering centers present in the majority of the structure. This allows for simultaneous enhancement of power factor and reduction of thermal conductivity, thus improving the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT. This approach is also compatible with other strategies for reducing thermal conductivity, for example the inclusion of nanostructures.
