Thick GaN layers with low defect concentration are crucial for next-generation vertical power electronic devices. In this study, we propose a new approach to grow high quality GaN homoepitaxy using hot-wall MOCVD. We develop a low temperature GaN as an optimum nucleation scheme and provide a comprehensive picture of homoepitaxial growth on GaN templates and native substrates. We demonstrate the potential of hot-wall MOCVD to deliver high-quality GaN material for vertical power devices.
Thick GaN layers with a low concentration of defects are the key to enable next-generation vertical power electronic devices. Here, we explore hot-wall metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for the development of GaN homoepitaxy. We propose a new approach to grow high quality homoepitaxial GaN in N2-rich carrier gas and at a higher supersaturation as compared to heteroepitaxy. We develop a low temperature GaN as an optimum nucleation scheme based on the evolution and thermal stability of the GaN surface under different gas compositions and temperatures. Analysis in the framework of nucleation theory of homoepitaxial layers simultaneously grown on GaN templates on SiC and on hydride vapor phase epitaxy GaN substrates is presented. We show that residual strain and screw dislocation densities affect GaN nucleation and subsequent growth leading to distinctively different morphologies of GaN homoepitaxial layers grown on GaN templates and native substrates, respectively. The established comprehensive picture provides a guidance for designing strategies for growth conditions optimization in GaN homoepitaxy. GaN with atomically flat and smooth epilayer surfaces with a root-mean-square roughness value as low as 0.049 nm and low background carbon concentration of 5.3 x 1015 cm-3 has been achieved. It is also shown that there is no generation of additional dislocations during homoepitaxial growth. Thus, our results demonstrate the potential of the hot-wall MOCVD technique to deliver high-quality GaN material for vertical power devices.
