- the SEN template includes an Al-containing nitride layer deposited onthe surface of the Si substrate, serving as anatomically smooth nucleation layer and Ill-nitride material stack is epitaxially grown thereon. More particularly the
- SEN template is designed to functions as a diffusion barrier of p-type dopants, which have been considered as the main reason resulting in the substrate parasitic loss. Furthermore, the use of SEN template also improves the crystal quality of Ill-nitride materials since the presence of SEN template protects the underlying silicon substrate from attack of N3 ⁇ 4 during epitaxy and provides improvement of parasitic channel.
