Abstract

Boronmonophosphide(BP) is one of the suitable materials for a buffer layer between the c-GaN(100) and Si(100) substrates. The growth of BP layer was carried out by MOCVD on Si(100) substrate of 2 inch in diameter. The growth rate was over 2 μm/h without any troubles such as the bowing or cracking. In addition, the thickness of BP epitaxial layer was uniform over a wide area. A careful analysis of x-ray diffraction suggested that the growth of BP epitaxial layer inherited the crystal orientation from Si(100) substrate. Cross-sectional TEM images showed some defects like dislocations near the interface between BP layer and Si substrate. The Hall effect measurements indicated that the conduction type of BP films grown on the both n-Si and p-Si substrates was n-type without impurity doping, and that the mobility and carrier concentrations were typically 357cm2/Vs and 1.5×1020cm−3(on n-Si) and 63cm2/Vs and 1.9×1019cm−3(on p-Si), respectively. In addition, c-GaN was grown on the substrate of BP/Si(100) by RF-MBE.
