Abstract: A method for fabricating p-type, i-type, and n-type III-V compound materials using HVPE techniques is provided. If desired, these materials can be grown directly onto the surface of a substrate without the inclusion of a low temperature buffer layer. By growing multiple layers of differing conductivity, a variety of different device structures can be fabricated including simple p-n homojunction and heterojunction structures as well as more complex structures in which the p-n junction, either homojunction or heterojunction, is interposed between a pair of wide band gap material layers. The provided method can also be used to fabricate a device in which a non-continuous quantum dot layer is grown within the p-n junction. The quantum dot layer is comprised of a plurality of quantum dot regions, each of which is typically between approximately 20 and 30 Angstroms per axis. The quantum dot layer is preferably comprised of AlxByInzGa1-x-y-zN, InGaN1-a-bPaAsb, or AlxByInzGa1-x-y-zN1-a-bPaAsb.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing pn junctions and p-i-n junctions from group III nitride compound semiconductor materials. The process comprises growing of pn junctions and p-i-n junctions by hydride vapor phase epitaxy employing hydride of nitrogen (ammonia, hydrozine) as a source of nitrogen and halides of group III metal as a source of metal. Mg is used as acceptor impurity to form p-type III-V nitride layers. The preferred sources for Ga and Al are Ga and Al metals, respectively. The process is carried out in the temperature range from 900 to 1200° C.
