  • Patent number: 9396936
    Abstract: A method for growing aluminum indium nitride (AlInN) films on silicon substrates comprises several steps: firstly, arranging a silicon substrate in a reaction chamber; secondly, providing multiple reaction gases in the reaction chamber, wherein the reaction gases include aluminum precursors, indium precursors and nitrogen-containing gases; finally, dynamically adjusting flow rates of the reaction gases and directly growing an AlInN layer on the silicon substrate via a crystal growth process. By directly forming an AlInN layer on the silicon substrate, lattice matching is increased, residual thermal stress is reduced and film quality is improved. In addition, fabrication process is simplified and thus cost is reduced.

  • Patent number: 9217207
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of growing thin film diamond. Since there are micro-grooves formed between internal grains of the heterogeneous substrate during lateral epitaxy growth, diamond seeds are allowed to be embedded in the micro-grooves; surface damage caused by scratching method or seeding method also can be prevented. As a result, a continuous diamond thin film with uniform thickness and high quality can be obtained.
