Epitaxial structure of gallium nitride series semiconductor device and process of manufacturing the same

摘要

An epitaxial stricture of a gallium nitride series semiconductor device and a process of forming the same are described. A first buffer layer of gallium nitride is epitaxially formed on a substrate at a first temperature. A second buffer layer of indium gallium nitride is formed on the first buffer layer at a second temperature. The second temperature increases up to a third temperature, during which precursors including In(CH₃)₃ and NH₃ are used for surface treatment. A high-temperature gallium nitride is formed at the third temperature. The buffer layer and the way to form such a buffer layer allow improved crystal configuration and lowered defect density, thereby increasing the performance and service life of a semiconductor device.
