摘要
Epitaxial growth of an AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility trainsistor (HEMT) structure on a diamond (111) substrate was investigated. Due to the misorientation of the diamond (111) surface, the AlGaN/GaN HEMT structure showed the macro-step surface. Using diamond surfaces with two different misorientation angles (3 and 0.5 degrees), we found that the one with the small misorientation angle is effective for obtaining a flat AlGaN/GaN HEMT surface. Threading dislocation density of the AlGaN/GaN HEMT structure grown on the diamond (111) surface was evaluated from cross-sectional transmission electron microscope images. The densities of pure-screw-, pure-edge- and mixed-type threading dislocation were 0.3 x 10(9), 4.1 x 10(9), and 4.5 x 10(9) cm(-2), respectively. The AlGaN/GaN HEMT eptaxially grown on the diamond (111) substrate showed the maximum drain current of 800 mA/mm with little self-heating effect. (C) 2012 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
