  • Patent number: 8679881
    Abstract: A growth method for reducing defect density of GaN includes steps of: sequentially forming a buffer growth layer, a stress release layer and a first nanometer cover layer on a substrate, wherein the first nanometer cover layer has multiple openings interconnected with the stress release layer; growing a first island in each of the openings; growing a first buffer layer and a second nanometer cover layer on the first island; and growing a second island to form a dislocated island structure. Thus, through the first nanometer cover layer and the second nanometer cover layer, multiple dislocated island structures can be directly formed to reduce manufacturing complexity as well as increase yield rate by decreasing manufacturing environment variation. Further, the epitaxial lateral over growth (ELOG) approach also effectively enhances characteristics of GaN optoelectronic semiconductor elements.

  • Patent number: 8586995
    Abstract: A semiconductor element having a high breakdown voltage includes a substrate, a buffer layer, a semiconductor composite layer and a bias electrode. The buffer layer disposed on the substrate includes a high edge dislocation defect density area. The semiconductor composite layer disposed on the buffer layer includes a second high edge dislocation defect density area formed due to the first high edge dislocation defect density area. The bias electrode is disposed on the semiconductor composite layer. A virtual gate effect of defect energy level capturing electrons is generated due to the first and second high edge dislocation defect density areas, such that an extended depletion region expanded from the bias electrode is formed at the semiconductor composite layer. When the bias electrode receives a reverse bias, the extended depletion region reduces a leakage current and increases the breakdown voltage of the semiconductor element.
