Abstract:
Various methods to integrate a Group III nitride material on a silicon material are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a structure including a (100) silicon layer, a (111) silicon layer located on an uppermost surface of the (100) silicon layer, a Group III nitride material layer located on an uppermost surface of the (111) silicon layer, and a blanket layer of dielectric material located on an uppermost surface of the Group III nitride material layer. Next, an opening is formed through the blanket layer of dielectric material, the Group III nitride material layer, the (111) Si layer and within a portion of the (100) silicon layer. A dielectric spacer is then formed within the opening. An epitaxial semiconductor material is then formed on an exposed surface of the (100) silicon layer within the opening and thereafter planarization is performed.

This structure further includes an epitaxial semiconductor material located on an uppermost surface of the (100) silicon substrate, and a gallium nitride material located adjacent to the surface of the silicon substrate having the (111) crystal plane and adjacent a portion of the epitaxial semiconductor material. The structure also includes at least one semiconductor device located upon and within the gallium nitride material and at least one other semiconductor device located upon and within the epitaxial semiconductor material.
Abstract:
A method of forming an epitaxial semiconductor material that includes forming a graphene layer on a semiconductor and carbon containing substrate and depositing a metal containing monolayer on the graphene layer. An epitaxial layer of a gallium containing material is formed on the metal containing monolayer. A layered stack of the metal containing monolayer and the epitaxial layer of gallium containing material is cleaved from the graphene layer that is present on the semiconductor and carbon containing substrate.
Abstract:
A pulsed laser-initiated exfoliation method for patterning a Group III-nitride film on a growth substrate is provided. This method includes providing a Group III-nitride film a growth substrate, wherein a growth substrate/Group III-nitride film interface is present between the Group III-nitride film and the growth substrate. Next, a laser is selected that provides radiation at a wavelength at which the Group III-nitride film is transparent and the growth substrate is absorbing. The interface is then irradiated with pulsed laser radiation from the Group III-nitride film side of the growth substrate/Group III-nitride film interface to exfoliate a region of the Group III-nitride from the growth substrate. A method for transfer a Group-III nitride film from a growth substrate to a handle substrate is also provided.
