  • Patent number: 8026156
    Abstract: In a method for fabricating a nitride-based compound layer, first, a GaN substrate is prepared. A mask layer with a predetermined pattern is formed on the GaN substrate to expose a partial area of the GaN substrate. Then a buffer layer is formed on the partially exposed GaN substrate. The buffer layer is made of a material having a 10% or less lattice mismatch with GaN. Thereafter, the nitride-based compound is grown laterally from a top surface of the buffer layer toward a top surface of the mask layer and the nitride-based compound layer is vertically grown to a predetermined thickness. Also, the mask layer and the buffer layer are removed via wet-etching to separate the nitride-based compound layer from the GaN substrate.

  • Publication number: 20110189457
    Abstract: A method of forming a nitride film by hydride vapor phase epitaxy, the method including: sequentially disposing at least one group III metal source including impurities and a substrate in an external reaction chamber and an internal reaction chamber sequentially located in the direction of gas supply and heating each of the external reaction chamber and the internal reaction chamber at a growth temperature; forming a metal chloride by supplying hydrogen chloride gas and carrier gas into the external reaction chamber to react with the group III metal source and transferring the metal chloride to the substrate; and forming the nitride film doped with the impurities on the substrate by reacting the transferred metal chloride with nitrogen source gas supplied to the internal reaction chamber.
