Abstract:
Emerging mid and high voltage applications in power supplies, alternate energy and data centers are requiring improved power efficiencies, higher operating temperatures and system size reductions. GaN delivers on these parameters over Si. With advancements in MOCVD of GaN on Si substrates, an economically viable alternative to Si has emerged. To meet the system level yield, reliability and cost targets , the industry requires MOCVD process to deliver superior film uniformity, run to run control, dopant control, low defectivity and high uptime. In response to these requirements, Veeco has developed the next generation MOCVD system based on single wafer architecture that has demonstrated industry leading performance at multiple sites. In this paper we will discuss these results as relevant to system performance.
