Abstract: Oxygen controlled PVD AlN buffers for GaN-based optoelectronic and electronic devices is described. Methods of forming a PVD AlN buffer for GaN-based optoelectronic and electronic devices in an oxygen controlled manner are also described. In an example, a method of forming an aluminum nitride (AlN) buffer layer for GaN-based optoelectronic or electronic devices involves reactive sputtering an AlN layer above a substrate, the reactive sputtering involving reacting an aluminum-containing target housed in a physical vapor deposition (PVD) chamber with a nitrogen-containing gas or a plasma based on a nitrogen-containing gas. The method further involves incorporating oxygen into the AlN layer.

Abstract: Fabrication of gallium nitride-based light devices with physical vapor deposition (PVD)-formed aluminum nitride buffer layers is described. Process conditions for a PVD AlN buffer layer are also described. Substrate pretreatments for a PVD aluminum nitride buffer layer are also described. In an example, a method of fabricating a buffer layer above a substrate involves pre-treating a surface of a substrate. The method also involves, subsequently, reactive sputtering an aluminum nitride (AlN) layer on the surface of the substrate from an aluminum-containing target housed in a physical vapor deposition (PVD) chamber with a nitrogen-based gas or plasma.
