    摘要: A method of forming a (gallium, aluminum, indium) nitride base layer on a substrate for subsequent fabrication, e.g., by MOCVD or MBE, of a microelectronic device structure thereon. Vapor-phase (Ga, Al, In) chloride is reacted with a vapor-phase nitrogenous compound in the presence of the substrate, to form (Ga, Al, In) nitride. The (Ga, Al, In) nitride base layer is grown on the substrate by HVPE, to yield a microelectronic device base comprising a substrate with the (Ga, Al, In) nitride base layer thereon. The product of such HVPE process comprises a device quality, single crystal crack-free base layer of (Ga, Al, In) N on the substrate, in which the thickness of the base layer may, for example, be on the order of 2 microns and greater and the defect density of the base layer may, for example, be on the order of 1E8 cm−2 or lower. Microelectronic devices thereby may be formed on the base layer, over a substrate of a foreign (poor lattice match) material, such as sapphire. Devices which may be fabricated utilizing the HVPE base layer of the invention include light emitting diodes, detectors, transistors, and semiconductor lasers.

    摘要: A III-V nitride, e.g., GaN, substrate including a (0001) surface offcut from the direction predominantly toward a direction selected from the group consisting of and directions, at an offcut angle in a range that is from about 0.2 to about 10 degrees, wherein the surface has a RMS roughness measured by 50×50 μm2 AFM scan that is less than 1 nm, and a dislocation density that is less than 3 E6 cm−2. The substrate may be formed by offcut slicing of a corresponding boule or wafer blank, by offcut lapping or growth of the substrate body on a corresponding vicinal heteroepitaxial substrate, e.g., of offcut sapphire. Both upper and lower surfaces may be offcut. The substrate is usefully employed for homoepitaxial deposition in the fabrication of III-V nitride-based microelectronic and opto-electronic devices.
