AlN Single Crystal Substrate& Template on Sapphire/Silicon

AlN Single Crystal Substrate& Template on Sapphire/Silicon

PAM-XIAMEN offers high-quality AlN on silicon and sapphire wafer, which is AlN epitaxial thin film grown on single crystal sapphire/Si substrate, that way can provide the most cost-effective solution to grow high quality III-V nitride thin film.

AlN on silicon / sapphire

1. Wafer List:

Undoped AlN Template on Sapphire, 2″, AlN layer1um or 3~5um – single side polished or double side polished
Undoped AlN Template on Silicon, 2″, AlN layer1um – single side polished
Undoped AlN Template on Sapphire, 4″, AlN layer200um – single side polished or double side polished
Undoped AlN Template on Silicon, 4″, AlN layer1um – single side polished PAM190813-ALN

2″ 25nm AlN on (111) Si
6″ 25nm AlN on (111) Si
Undoped AlN Template on 4″ Silicon ( Si <111>, P type, B-doped ) 4″x 500 nm

Remark:

There are two ways to make AlN templates on silicon, one way is to grow them by MOCVD, another way is to coat them, but anyway, the thickness is around 200nm, if too thick, the BOW would be big.
Question: How to choose silicon substrate when growing AlN film?
Answer: choose silicon at (111)orientation, also the resistivity should be higher.

Back surface: silicon N-type
AlN orientation: C-plane (0001)
Wafer base: Silicon [111] N type, 2″ dia x 0.5 mm, one side polished
Undoped AlN Template on 4″ Silicon ( Si <111>, P type, B-doped ) 4″x 500 nm

Features of AlN/Si Wafer:
High uniformity and good repeatability;
crack-free
