Role

NaMLab´s work in WP1 focuses in development and fabrication of vertical devices with thick GaN drift layers on GaN substrates.

Key Contribution

NaMLab will develop epitaxial layer stacks for vertical GaN devices on GaN substrates. Thick drift layers are used for high voltage operation and the approach of growing thick drift layers with fast growth rate Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE) compared to Metal-Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) will be explored.

In device technology on 2-inch substrates vertical GaN MOSFETs with trench gate configuration will be processed and characterized for benchmarking purpose. An established processing scheme has to be adapted and refined for the new material.

Investigations and comparison of vertical devices fabricated on material with different quality will give essential information about the opportunities of vertical GaN technologies.
