Ultrahigh-yield growth of GaN via halogen-free vapor-phase epitaxy

The material yield of Ga during GaN growth via halogen-free vapor-phase epitaxy (HF-VPE) was systematically investigated and found to be much higher than that obtained using conventional hydride VPE. This is attributed to the much lower process pressure and shorter seed-to-source distance, owing to the inherent chemical reactions and corresponding reactor design used for HF-VPE growth. Ultrahigh-yield GaN growth was demonstrated on a 4-in.-diameter sapphire seed substrate.
