Abstract: In a method for making an inclusion-free uniformly semi-insulating GaN crystal, an epitaxial nitride layer is deposited on a substrate. A 3D nucleation GaN layer is grown on the epitaxial nitride layer by HVPE under a substantially 3D growth mode, wherein a surface of the nucleation layer is substantially covered with pits and the aspect ratio of the pits is essentially the same. A GaN transitional layer is grown on the nucleation layer by HVPE under a condition that changes the growth mode from the substantially 3D growth mode to a substantially 2D growth mode. After growing the transitional layer, a surface of the transitional layer is substantially pit-free. A bulk GaN layer is grown on the transitional layer by HVPE. After growing the bulk layer, a surface of the bulk layer is smooth and substantially pit-free. The GaN is doped with a transition metal during at least one of the foregoing GaN growth steps.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a p-n heterojunction device is provided, the device being preferably comprised of an n-type GaN layer co-doped with silicon and zinc and a p-type AlGaN layer. The device may also include a p-type GaN capping layer. The device can be grown on any of a variety of different base substrates, the base substrate comprised of either a single substrate or a single substrate and an intermediary layer. The device can be grown directly onto the surface of the substrate without the inclusion of a low temperature buffer layer.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for fabricating monocrystal material with the bandgap width exceeding 1.8 eV. The method comprises the steps of processing a monocrystal semiconductor wafer to develop a porous layer through electrolytic treatment of the wafer at direct current under UV-illumination, and epitaxially growing a monocrystal layer on said porous layer. Growth on porous layer produces semiconductor material with reduced stress and better characteristics than with the same material grown on non-porous layers and substrates. Also, semiconductor device structure comprising at least one layer of porous group III material is included.
