    摘要: A method of compensating resistivity of a near-surface region of a substrate includes epitaxially growing a buffer layer on the substrate, wherein the buffer is grown as having a dopant concentration as dependent on resistivity and conductivity of the substrate, so as to deplete residual or excess charge within the near-surface region of the substrate. The dopant profile of the buffer layer be smoothly graded, or may consist of sub-layers of different dopant concentration, to also provide a highly resistive upper portion of the buffer layer ideal for subsequent device growth. Also, the buffer layer may be doped with carbon, and aluminum may be used to getter the carbon during epitaxial growth.

    摘要: A heterojunction device includes a first layer of p-type aluminum gallium nitride; a second layer of undoped gallium nitride on the first layer; a third layer of aluminum gallium nitride on the second layer; and an electron gas between the second and third layers. A heterojunction between the first and second layers injects positive charge into the second layer to compensate and/or neutralize negative charge within the electron gas.

    摘要: A substrate includes non-gallium nitride posts that define trenches therebetween, wherein the non-gallium nitride posts include non-gallium nitride sidewalls and non-gallium nitride tops and the trenches include non-gallium floors. Gallium nitride is grown on the non-gallium nitride posts, including on the non-gallium nitride tops. Preferably, gallium nitride pyramids are grown on the non-gallium nitride tops and gallium nitride then is grown on the gallium nitride pyramids. The gallium nitride pyramids preferably are grown at a first temperature and the gallium nitride preferably is grown on the pyramids at a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature. The first temperature preferably is about 1000° C. or less and the second temperature preferably is about 1100° C. or more. However, other than temperature, the same processing conditions preferably are used for both growth steps. The grown gallium nitride on the pyramids preferably coalesces to form a continuous gallium nitride layer. Accordingly, gallium nitride may be grown without the need to form masks during the gallium nitride growth process. Moreover, the gallium nitride growth may be performed using the same processing conditions other than temperatures changes. Accordingly, uninterrupted gallium nitride growth may be performed.
