Abstract

Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition was employed to deposit high quality, highly uniform III-Nitride transistor structures on 100 mm diameter semi-insulating 4H-SiC substrates. Electron mobility was over 2000 cm2/Vs at room temperature. Sheet resistivity uniformity was as low as 0.75%. Typical standard deviations were about 1% in most properties including sheet resistivity, carrier concentration, mobility, and AlGaN composition. Additionally, wafers maintained their flat shape after deposition of these structures. Wafer bow and warp were typically less than 20 μm for optimized structures and <5 μm for the best wafers.
