    摘要: A method for fabricating a III-nitride based semiconductor device, including (a) growing one or more buffer layers on or above a semi-polar or non-polar GaN substrate, wherein the buffer layers are semi-polar or non-polar III-nitride buffer layers; and (b) doping the buffer layers so that a number of crystal defects in III-nitride device layers formed on or above the doped buffer layers is not higher than a number of crystal defects in III-nitride device layers formed on or above one or more undoped buffer layers. The doping can reduce or prevent formation of misfit dislocation lines and additional threading dislocations. The thickness and/or composition of the buffer layers can be such that the buffer layers have a thickness near or greater than their critical thickness for relaxation. In addition, one or more (AlInGaN) or III-nitride device layers can be formed on or above the buffer layers.

    摘要: Lateral epitaxial overgrowth of non-polar III-nitride seed layers reduces threading dislocations in the non-polar III-nitride thin films. First, a thin patterned dielectric mask is applied to the seed layer. Second, a selective epitaxial regrowth is performed to achieve a lateral overgrowth based on the patterned mask. Upon regrowth, the non-polar III-nitride films initially grow vertically through openings in the dielectric mask before laterally overgrowing the mask in directions perpendicular to the vertical growth direction. Threading dislocations are reduced in the overgrown regions by (1) the mask blocking the propagation of dislocations vertically into the growing film and (2) the bending of dislocations through the transition from vertical to lateral growth.
