AbstractA numerical model of an experimental gallium nitride horizontal vapor phase epitaxy reactor is presented. The model predicts the flow, concentration profiles, and growth rates. The effects of flowrate variation and geometry on the growth rate, growth uniformity and crystal quality were investigated. Numerical model predictions are compared to experimentally observed values. Parasitic gas phase reactions between group III and group V sources and deposition of material on the wall are shown to lead to reduced overall growth rates and inferior crystal quality. A low ammonia concentration is correlated to deposition of polycrystalline films. An optimum HVPE growth process requires selection of reactor geometry and operating conditions to minimize parasitic reactions and wall deposition while providing a uniform reactant distribution across the substrate.

ABSTRACTThe effects of flowrate variation and geometry on the growth rate, growth uniformity and crystal quality were investigated in a horizontal Gallium Nitride vapor phase epitaxy reactor. To better understand the effects of these parameters, numerical model predictions are compared to experimentally observed values. Parasitic gas phase reactions between group III and group V sources and deposition of material on the wall are shown to lead to reduced overall growth rates and may be responsible for inferior crystal quality. A low ammonia concentration is correlated with the deposition of polycrystalline films. A low V/III ratio and an ammonia concentration lead to poor crystalline quality and increased yellow luminescence. An optimum HVPE growth process requires selection of reactor geometry and operating conditions to minimize these parasitic reactions and wall deposition while providing a uniform reactant distribution across the substrate.

GaInAsP/InP organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) is widely used for the fabrication of lasers and detectors used in optical communication. Here we describe the apparatus and growth technique of OMVPE and point out important growth conditions to obtain device quality single-crystal materials. Our research includes the use of OMVPE for the study of quantum-well lasers, ballistic-transport electron devices and nanometer heterostructures.
