Practical boron nitride (BN) detector applications will require uniform materials over large surface area and thick BN layers. To report important progress toward these technological requirements, 1~2.5 µm-thick BN layers were grown on 2-inch sapphire substrates by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE).

Article Synopsis
  • NSAG technique produces high-quality InGaN nanopyramids on GaN-coated ZnO/c-sapphire with uniform, single crystalline structures.
  • These nanopyramids feature 22% indium incorporation and a thickness of 100 nm, making them comparable to structures on GaN and AlN/Si templates.
  • The selective etching capability of ZnO allows for transferring these nanostructures to alternative, potentially cheaper substrates, providing a new avenue for developing flexible and tunable light-emitting diodes.

We report nano-selective area growth (NSAG) of BGaN by MOCVD on AlN/Si(111) and GaN templates resulting in 150 nm single crystalline nanopyramids. This is in contrast to unmasked or micro-selective area growth, which results in a multi-crystalline structure on both substrates. Various characterization techniques were used to evaluate NSAG as a viable technique to improve BGaN material quality on AlN/Si(111) using results of GaN NSAG and unmasked BGaN growth for comparison.
