In one embodiment, a wafer carrier track for levitating and traversing a wafer carrier within a vapor deposition reactor system is provided which includes upper and lower sections of a track assembly having a gas cavity formed therebetween. A guide path extends along an upper surface of the upper section and between two side surfaces which extend along and above the guide path and parallel to each other. A plurality of gas holes along the guide path extends from the upper surface of the upper section, through the upper section, and into the gas cavity. In some examples, the upper and lower sections of the track assembly may independently contain quartz, and in some examples, may be fused together.

    摘要: The present invention relates a method for epitaxial growth of a second group III-V crystal having a second lattice constant over a first group III-V crystal having a first lattice constant, wherein strain relaxation associated with lattice-mismatched epitaxy is suppressed and thus dislocation defects do not form. In the first step, the surface of the first group III-V crystal (substrate) is cleansed by desorption of surface oxides. In the second step, a layer of condensed group-V species is condensed on the surface of the first group III-V crystal. In the third step, a mono-layer of constituent group-III atoms is deposited over the layer of condensed group-V species in order for the layer of constituent group-III atoms to retain the condensed group-V layer. Subsequently, the mono-layer of group-III atoms is annealed at a higher temperature. In the fourth step, bulk of the second group III-V crystal is grown with the condensed group-V layer accommodating the strain build-up which occurs during the bulk growth.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for fabricating thin Group III nitride layers as well as Group III nitride layers that exhibit sharp layer-to-layer interfaces are provided. According to one aspect, an HVPE reactor includes one or more gas inlet tubes adjacent to the growth zone, thus allowing fine control of the delivery of reactive gases to the substrate surface. According to another aspect, an HVPE reactor includes both a growth zone and a growth interruption zone. According to another aspect, an HVPE reactor includes a slow growth rate gallium source, thus allowing thin layers to be grown. Using the slow growth rate gallium source in conjunction with a conventional gallium source allows a device structure to be fabricated during a single furnace run that includes both thick layers (i.e., utilizing the conventional gallium source) and thin layers (i.e., utilizing the slow growth rate gallium source).

    摘要: The invention relates to a device for depositing especially crystalline layers on at least one especially crystalline substrate in a process chamber comprising a top and a vertically opposing heated bottom for receiving the substrates. A gas-admittance body forming vertically superimposed gas-admittance regions is used to separately introduce at least one first and one second gaseous starting material, said starting materials flowing through the process chamber with a carrier gas in the horizontal direction. The gas flow homogenises in an admittance region directly adjacent to the gas-admittance body, and the starting materials are at least partially decomposed, forming decomposition products which are deposited on the substrates in a growth region adjacent to the admittance region, under continuous depletion of the gas flow. An additional gas-admittance region of the gas-admittance body is essential for one of the two starting materials, in order to reduce the horizontal extension of the admittance region.
