Two types of a trench with conventional vertical and new reverse-V-shaped cross-sections were fabricated on single crystal diamond (SCD) substrate using a micro-jet water-assisted laser. In addition, a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition device was used to produce multiple micrometer-sized channels using the epitaxial lateral overgrowth technique. Raman and SEM methods were applied to analyze both types of growth layer characterization. The hollowness of the microchannels was measured using an optical microscope. According to the findings, the epitaxial lateral overgrowth layer of the novel reverse-V-shaped trench produced improved SCD surface morphology and crystal quality.

AbstractThe epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) process for GaN has been studied using SiC and sapphire substrates. Both MBE and MOVPE growth processes were employed in the study. The use of SiO2 versus SiNx insulator stripes was investigated using window/stripe widths ranging from 2 μm/4 μm to 3 μm/15 μm. GaN film depositions were completed at temperatures ranging from 800°C to 1120°C. Characterization experiments included RHEED, TEM, SEM and cathodolumenescence studies. The MBE growth experiments produced polycrystalline GaN over the insulator stripes even at deposition temperatures as high as 990°C. In contrast, MOVPE growth produced single-crystal GaN stripes with no observable threading dislocations.

Growth of GaN by MOVPE on mismatched substrates such as sapphire or SiC produces a columnar material consisting of many hexagonal grains ~1 μm across. In contrast, the epitaxial-lateral-overgrowth (ELO) process creates a new material — single-crystal GaN. We have studied the ELO process using GaN/sapphire layers patterned with SiO2 stripes. SEM images show that the (0001) GaN surface remains very flat as the ELO progresses. Cathodoluminescence images at 590 nm reveal spotty yellow-green emission from the columnar GaN as it emerges from the window areas. Very bright 590 nm emission occurs as the ELO process begins. We associate this deep-level cathodoluminescence with the strain field that accompanies the conversion of columnar GaN into single-crystal GaN via the ELO process. As the ELO process continues across the SiO2 stripes, the 590 nm emission disappears and is replaced with pure band edge cathodoluminescence at 365 nm which is maintained until coalescence of adjacent ELO layers occurs near the centers of the SiO2 stripes.

Two types of trenches cross-section in conventional vertical and brand new reverse-V-shape have fabricated on SCD substrate by micro-jet water-assist laser, the epitaxial lateral overgrowth technique has applied by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition system in forming multiple micrometer-size channels. Raman and SEM techniques have applied in analyze both types growth layer characterization. Optical microscope has used to test microchannels hollowness. As a result, with the brand new reverse-V-shape trench, epitaxial lateral overgrowth layer reaches higher SCD surface morphology and crystal quality.

The epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) process for GaN has been studied using SiC and sapphire substrates. Both MBE and MOVPE growth processes were employed in the study. The use of SiO2 versus SiNx insulator stripes was investigated using window/stripe widths ranging from 20 μm/4 μm to 3 μm/15 μm.
