Research direction
Focusing on the epitaxial growth research of the third generation semiconductor gallium nitride (GaN) materials, the team aims at the major national strategic needs of new displays, 5G mobile communications, new energy vehicles, big data centers, UV disinfection, etc., based on the actual needs of economic and social development in Guangdong Province, and focuses on stress regulation, dislocation and point defect suppression, surface/interface engineering, and energy band engineering of large mismatch heteroepitaxial materials, And explore new epitaxial growth technologies (quasi van der Waals epitaxial growth technology, nitrogen polar GaN material epitaxial growth technology, etc.) to provide core material support for the research and development of high-performance optoelectronics and electronic devices of various nitride semiconductors.
Hardware conditions
The team has an ultra clean laboratory of nearly 2000 square meters, more than 10 sets of MOCVD core epitaxial equipment, Candela wafer particle size detection, high-resolution XRD, atomic force microscope, focused ion beam microscope FIB, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy, Hall effect testing and other complete material growth, testing and analysis platforms. The hardware conditions have reached the international advanced level, and the team has the ability to pilot test 2-8 inch third-generation semiconductor industry technology.

研究方向概况和未来方向

At present, the team has made internationally influential achievements in the epitaxy of high-quality silicon based GaN materials, AlGaN deep UV LEDs and detectors, high-power blue white LEDs and laser material growth, silicon based GaN longitudinal power device epitaxy, 4-8-inch silicon substrate GaN based HEMT electronic material growth, etc. The team has accumulated rich experience in the growth of large size silicon based GaN LED and HEMT materials, has core technology and industrialization capabilities, has applied for dozens of key technology patents in related fields, and has relatively complete independent intellectual property rights.

Next, the team will build the third generation semiconductor material epitaxy research and development center in the Pearl River Delta, and carry out in-depth cooperation with domestic and foreign scientific research institutions and well-known enterprises to provide core material support for the research and development of various high-performance optoelectronic devices and electronic devices, and strive to become a well-known third generation semiconductor epitaxy material supplier in the Pearl River Delta and even at home and abroad. Specifically, we will focus on the following key bottleneck technology breakthroughs:

  • 01Epitaxy of large size silicon based GaN RGB tri color LED materials
  • 02GaN blue green laser material epitaxy
  • 03Epitaxy of aluminum nitride gallium deep ultraviolet optoelectronic materials
  • 04GaN RF HEMT and HBT Epitaxy
  • 05GaN Power Electronics HEMT and Longitudinal Power Device Epitaxy
  • 06Growth of nitrogen polar gallium nitride and quasi van der waals epitaxy

关键领域

The third generation semiconductor materials represented by GaN have significant advantages such as direct band gap, large band gap width, high breakdown field strength, high electron saturation drift rate, high thermal conductivity, etc. It has important application value in the fields of high frequency, high efficiency, high temperature, high power, high withstand voltage, radiation resistance, etc. It is expected to become the pioneer of China's semiconductor industry and technology to overtake at a bend, It has been written into the National "Fourteenth Five Year Plan" and the "Outline of Vision Goals for 2035", and is also the key development object of the Fourteenth Five Year Plan of Guangdong Province. In fact, in recent years, with the rapid development of new displays, 5G communications, the Internet of Things, new energy vehicles and other fields, the market scale of microwave RF devices, power electronic devices, lasers and Micro LED based on GaN materials has expanded dramatically. However, the epitaxial growth of large size and high-quality GaN core device materials is still the key factor limiting its high-end application. Based on this, the team will closely focus on stress regulation, dislocation and point defect suppression, surface/interface engineering, and energy band engineering of large mismatch heteroepitaxial materials, and explore new epitaxial growth technologies such as quasi van der Waals epitaxy, nitrogen polar GaN material epitaxy, to provide core material support for the research and development of high-performance optoelectronics and electronic devices of various nitride semiconductors.
