摘要
A novel windowed growth technique that allows for the exposure of a smooth silicon surface for MOS circuitry between AlGaN/GaN HEMT layers has been developed. A sacrificial oxide based dielectric stack is used to protect regions of the silicon surface before growth by ammonia-MBE. SIMS analysis shows elevated oxygen impurity incorporation in the stress-relief layer, but controllable levels in the C-doped GaN buffer. A Hall mobility of 1.37 x 10(3) cm(2)/Vs is measured in the AlGaN/GaN regions. AFM results show a RMS roughness of 0.12 nm on the silicon surface. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
