  • Patent number: 11139176
    Abstract: Direct growth methods for preparing diamond-assisted heat-dissipation silicon carbide substrates of GaN-HEMTs are disclosed. In an embodiment, the direct growth method includes the following steps: (1) etching holes in a surface of a silicon carbide substrate to produce a silicon carbide wafer; (2) ultrasonic cleaning the produced silicon carbide wafer; (3) establishing an auxiliary nucleation point on a surface of the silicon carbide wafer; (4) depositing a diamond layer; (5) removing the portion of the diamond layer on the upper surface while retaining the portion of the diamond layer in the holes; (6) ultrasonic cleaning; and (7) depositing diamond in the holes on the silicon carbide wafer until the holes are fully filled.
