研究目的
Investigating the fabrication of high quality InGaN platelets for use as relaxed templates for red microLEDs.
研究成果
The method presented allows for the fabrication of high-quality, dislocation-free InGaN platelets with smooth top surfaces, suitable for use as templates in red microLEDs. The optical quality of the platelets is significantly enhanced, with potential applications in full-color microLED displays.
研究不足
The study focuses on InGaN platelets with indium contents up to 18%. The scalability of the method and the integration of these platelets into full microLED devices are areas for further research.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The InGaN platelets are grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on a dome-like InGaN surface formed by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of InGaN pyramids. The growth conditions were adjusted to achieve specific indium contents and surface smoothness.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
InGaN pyramids were selectively grown on substrates of GaN/sapphire from 100-200 nm large openings in a SiNx mask by MOVPE. The pyramids were then polished to form dome-like surfaces for further InGaN growth.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
A MOVPE system with a 3x2-inch close coupled showerhead was used for InGaN growth. Triethylgallium (TEG), trimethylindium (TMI), and ammonia were used as precursors. A Hitachi Su8010 SEM, Bruker Dimension Icon AFM, and JEOL 3000F TEM were used for characterization.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The process involved growing InGaN pyramids, depositing SiOx, polishing with CMP, etching with HF, and then growing additional InGaN layers under controlled conditions to achieve smooth, high-quality surfaces.
5:Data Analysis Methods
Characterization included SEM, AFM, TEM, PL, and CL measurements to assess the quality, morphology, and optical properties of the InGaN platelets.
