Why GaN on Si ?

Prospects:

1) Large area and highly qualified wafer available

2) Sophisticated silicon technology available

Micro-machining, Fine lithography

3) Integrated opto-electronic devices possible (Si-photonics)

Difficulties:

1) Large lattice mismatch and different lattice structure

Poor hetero-interface, High density defects

2) Large difference of thermal expansion coefficients

Cracking, Bowing

3) Strong reaction between GaN and Si

Ga and Si meltback etching reaction

How to resolve:

1) Insertion of AlN and/or multilayered buffer layer

2) Selective Area Epitaxy

Summary

• GaN/Si磊晶技術關鍵在應力控制,ITRI以nano Rod、

SixNyCz、Mg/In-Si co-doped等緩衝層技術以獲得高品

質的厚GaN on 6” Si,已做整體利佈局。

• 利用前述自有磊晶技術,結合特殊製程,開發 6” GaN/Si

LED發光效率 接近GaN/Sapp LED 。

• 利用nano rod+ NiOx製作E-mode GaN/Si HEMT,達崩

潰電壓 ~900V ; Vt ≧ 2 技術水準。

• 降低LED生產成本 : 若在成本低廉的6吋以上矽晶圓生成

氮化鎵,並採用與現代半導體生產線相容的製程,則晶

粒成本會比現有製程有效降低75% ,利於產業切入照明

等應用。

• 加速產業轉型 : 整合與鏈結國內光電與半導體廠的專長

與資源,切入GaN電子元件的高單價產品技術。
