摘要 |
The invention relates to a process for the production of a layer structure of a nitride semiconductor component on a silicon surface, comprising the steps: provision of a substrate that has a silicon surface; deposition of an aluminium-containing nitride nucleation layer on the silicon surface of the substrate; optional: deposition of an aluminium-containing nitride buffer layer on the nitride nucleation layer; deposition of a masking layer on the nitride nucleation layer or, if present, on the first nitride buffer layer; deposition of a gallium-containing first nitride semiconductor layer on the masking layer, wherein the masking layer is deposited in such a way that, in the deposition step of the first nitride semiconductor layer, initially separate crystallites grow that coalesce above a coalescence layer thickness and occupy an average surface area of at least 0.16 mum<SUP>2 </SUP>in a layer plane of the coalesced nitride semiconductor layer that is perpendicular to the growth direction.
