  • Publication number: 20100236630
    Abstract: The subject application relates to a chemical vapor (CV) deposition technique to form CuInxGa1-x(SeyS1-y)2, compounds. As a copper source, solid copper can be used with a HCl transport gas and Cu3Cl3 is expected to be a major Cu-containing vapor species in this system, Liquid indium and HCl transport gas are appropriate for the indium source to provide InCl vapor species. Since selenium and sulphur are relatively highly volatile, their vapor can be carried by an inert gas without an additional transport gas, although H2Se and H2S can be used. Each source temperature can be controlled separately so as to provide a sufficient and stable vapor flux. Also provided by the subject application are CV-deposited substrates and devices, such as electronic devices or solar cells, that contain CV-deposited CuInxGa1-x(SeyS1-y)2 substrates.

  • Patent number: 6733591
    Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a method and device for producing large area single crystalline III-V nitride compound semiconductor substrates with a composition AlxInyGa1-x-y N (where 0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, and 0≦x+y≦1). In a specific embodiment, GaN substrates, with low dislocation densities (˜107 cm2) can be produced. These crystalline III-V substrates can be used to fabricate lasers and transistors. Large area free standing single crystals of III-V compounds, for example GaN, can be produced in accordance with the subject invention. By utilizing the rapid growth rates afforded by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) and growing on lattice matching orthorhombic structure oxide substrates, good quality III-V crystals can be grown. Examples of oxide substrates include LiGaO2, LiAlO2, MgAlScO4, Al2MgO4, and LiNdO2. The subject invention relates to a method and apparatus, for the deposition of III-V compounds, which can alternate between MOVPE and HVPE, combining the advantages of both.
