BENEFITS OF RPCVD FOR LED
==> picture [259 x 73] intentionally omitted <==
A low temperature growth system such as RPCVD may offer LED manufacturers compelling performance advantages at several stages of device growth. Low temperature p-GaN is one area that BluGlass is presently focusing on.
LED STRUCTURE GROWN USING MOCVD
BENEFITS OF RPCVD GROWTH
p-GaN grown at intermediate to high temperature
Multi-Quantum-Well (MQW) InGaN layer, the ACTIVE REGION of an LED - grown at low temperature
The higher temperature growth of the p-GaN top layer compared to the MQW layer can cause degradation to the active MQW layer and reduce the LEDs light output. MOCVD cannot effectively grow high performance p-GaN at lower temperatures
n-GaN grown at high temperature
GaN grown at high temperature
RPCVD has great potential to improve device performance by growing a low temperature p-GaN layer which in turn improves the stability of the InGaN layer during growth

2013 PROGRESS: p-GaN
==> picture [268 x 211] intentionally omitted <==
-
BluGlass has successfully demonstrated p-GaN films grown at low temperature with electrical properties equivalent to films grown using MOCVD
-
Since this was announced earlier this year, BluGlass has continued to improve the quality of its p-GaN (see below). This was achieved with an RPCVD hardware design modification

RPCVD GaN ON SILICON
==> picture [259 x 73] intentionally omitted <==
WHY THE INTEREST IN GaN ON SILICON?
-
LED manufacturers continue to look for ways to reduce cost
-
New Market opportunities outside of LED market
-
Power electronics
THE PROBLEM WITH GaN ON SILICON?
- However GaN on silicon is prone to cracking during manufacturing due to a large lattice and thermal mismatch. Notably the thermal mismatch can lead to severe bowing during cooling from the high temperatures used in MOCVD growth
THE RPCVD SOLUTION
-
Low temperature RPCVD has the potential to reduce bowing and avoid wafer cracking
-
BluGlass will convert a 19 x 2” Thomas Swan MOCVD system into an RPCVD system for use on development of GaN on silicon
-
Demonstrate up to 8 inch silicon wafer deposition
