제목 | Effect of the Selective Ion-implantation for the GaN Growth on Patterned Sapphire Substrate |
초록 | Patterned sapphire substrates (PSS) with various shape such as cone-shape, pillar or parallelogram are used as a means of improving luminous efficiency of Gallium nitride based LED. The use of the PSS has result in increased external luminous efficiency by a scattering effect or by a diffraction effect/photonic crystal effect. The growth of high-quality GaN on the PSS is very important for increasing the external extraction efficiency of the LED. However, to grow the GaN on PSS has difficult problems such as lots of misfits and threading dislocations due to the large lattice mismatch and the thermal expansion coefficient difference between GaN and PSS. The growth of different direction poly-grains on top of the pattern not only hinder the epitaxial growth of GaN but also generate lots of defects. Here we introduce a new approach to growth of GaN on PSS by using selective ion-implantation at the top of the pattern. The selective ion-implantation makes the pattern surface of the substrate get damages in the physical and chemical changes. This damages hinder the growth of nuclei on the pattern surface and lead to the epitaxial lateral overgrowth of GaN by selective area growth (SAG). The selective ion-implantation process is an effective pre-treatment to grow the high-quality GaN on the PSS.
