The impact of seeding of the diamond growth on the microstructural properties of GaN-on-diamond wafers was studied using in situ focused ion beam cross-sectioning and scanning electron microscopy imaging. Microstructural studies revealed that the seeding conditions are a critical parameter to obtain an optimal material, allowing the manufacture of GaN-on-diamond wafers with no microscopic defects and with structural stability under thermal annealing at 825 degrees C. The use of the right seeding conditions also results in homogeneous thermal properties across four inch GaN-on-diamond wafers, which is of critical importance for their use for ultra-high power microwave electronic devices.
