Detailed Description

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have developed a new method to fabricate III-nitride semiconductor devices on the nitrogen-face of layers using wafer bonding and substrate removal.

File Number: 19389 

Other Information:

Background
There are several methods of obtaining nitrogen-polar devices. The most direct method is to use a substrate that naturally provides for the N-polarity or by using surface treatments on substrates such as sapphire to generate the buffer that lead to N-polar devices.
