摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the production of a layer structure of a nitride semiconductor component on a silicon surface, comprising the steps: provision of a substrate that has a silicon surface; deposition of an aluminium-containing nitride nucleation layer on the silicon surface of the substrate; optional: deposition of an aluminium-containing nitride buffer layer on the nitride nucleation layer; deposition of a masking layer on the nitride nucleation layer or, if present, on the first nitride buffer layer; deposition of a gallium-containing first nitride semiconductor layer on the masking layer, wherein the masking layer is deposited in such a way that, in the deposition step of the first nitride semiconductor layer, initially separate crystallites grow that coalesce above a coalescence layer thickness and occupy an average surface area of at least 0.16 μm2 in a layer plane of the coalesced nitride semiconductor layer that is perpendicular to the growth direction.

This invention relates to a method for depositing III-V semiconductor layers on a non III-V substrate especially a sapphire, silicon or silicon oxide substrate, or another substrate containing silicon. According to said method, a III-V layer, especially a buffer layer, is deposited on the substrate or on a III-V germination layer, in a process chamber of a reactor containing gaseous starting materials. In order to reduce the defect density of the overgrowth, a masking layer consisting of essentially amorphous material is deposited directly on the III-V germination layer or directly on the substrate, said masking layer partially covering of approximately partially covering the germination layer. The masking layer can be a quasi-monolayer and can consist of various materials.

摘要:
Group III nitride layers have a wide range of uses in electronics and optoelectronics. Such layers are generally grown on substrates such as sapphire, SiC and recently Si(111). For the purpose inter alia of integration with Si-CMOS electronics, growth on Si(001) is indicated, which is possible only with difficulty because of the different symmetries and is currently limited solely to misoriented Si(001) substrates, which restricts the range of use. In addition, the layer quality is not at present equal to that produced on Si(111) material. Growth on exactly oriented Si(001) and an improvement in material quality can now be simply achieved by a modification of the surface structure possible with a plurality of methods.

摘要:
Group III nitride layers which are grown with standard c-axis orientation have a maximum hole concentration by means of magnesium doping of around 5×1017 cm−3. This restriction of the doping results in a limitation of the possible component power. The object is to achieve a higher hole concentration and thus conductivity of the p-doped layer. This is made possible by the growth of higher index facets, which proceeds by roughening of the c-planar surface, structuring and subsequent preferentially lateral overgrowth with magnesium-doped group III nitride layers. Hole concentrations of over 5×1017 cm−3 on c-axis oriented GaN are possible
