摘要
Selective area mass transport regrowth of GaN was performed on wafers with etched wells and SiO2 mask. The samples were annealed in NH3 and H-2 flow, with no gallium precursor. At 1060 degreesC, only little mass transport occured, but the sidewall morphology changed, depending on crystallographic orientation At 1160 degreesC, the sidewalls grew out about 1 mum in 1 min, independent of orientation. The technique can potentially be performed in an annealing chamber, providing a low cost regrowth process. A promising application is ohmic contact regrowth to high composition AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors.
