    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device may include forming a semiconductor structure on a substrate wherein the semiconductor structure defines a mesa having a mesa surface opposite the substrate and mesa sidewalls between the mesa surface and the substrate. A first passivation layer can be formed on at least portions of the mesa sidewalls and on the substrate adjacent the mesa sidewalls wherein at least a portion of the mesa surface is free of the first passivation layer and wherein the first passivation layer comprises a first material. A second passivation layer can be formed on the first passivation layer wherein at least a portion of the mesa surface is free of the second passivation layer, and wherein the second passivation layer comprises a second material different than the first material. Related devices are also discussed.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a gallium nitride-based semiconductor structure on a substrate includes the steps of forming a mask having at least one opening therein directly on the substrate, growing a buffer layer through the opening, and growing a layer of gallium nitride upwardly from the buffer layer and laterally across the mask. During growth of the gallium nitride from the mask, the vertical and horizontal growth rates of the gallium nitride layer are maintained at rates sufficient to prevent polycrystalline material nucleating on said mask from interrupting the lateral growth of the gallium nitride layer. In an alternative embodiment, the method includes forming at least one raised portion defining adjacent trenches in the substrate and forming a mask on the substrate, the mask having at least one opening over the upper surface of the raised portion. A buffer layer may be grown from the upper surface of the raised portion. The gallium nitride layer is then grown laterally by pendeoepitaxy over the trenches.
