Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of hexagonal silicon-carbide-based bipolar devices
Marek Skowronski,S. Ha +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of silicon carbide high-voltage p-i-n diodes is attributed to the expansion of Shockley-type stacking faults in the part of the devices reached by the electron-hole plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of wurtzite GaN lattice polarity based on surface reconstruction
Arthur R. Smith,Randall M. Feenstra,David W. Greve,M.-S. Shin,Marek Skowronski,Jörg Neugebauer,John E. Northrup +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify two categories of reconstructions occurring on wurtzite GaN surfaces, the first associated with the N face, and the second associated with Ga face, (0001).
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural characterization of α‐GaN films grown on sapphire by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy
TL;DR: In this paper, the defects which penetrate the GaN films are predominantly perfect edge dislocations with Burgers vectors of the 1/3-1120-type, lying along the [0001] growth direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dislocation conversion in 4H silicon carbide epitaxy
TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of basal plane dislocations from off-axis 4H silicon carbide substrates into the homo-epitaxial layers has been investigated using chemical etching, optical microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructions of GaN(0001) and (0001̄) surfaces: Ga-rich metallic structures
Arthur R. Smith,Randall M. Feenstra,David W. Greve,M.-S. Shin,Marek Skowronski,Jörg Neugebauer,John E. Northrup +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the electron counting rule is violated for these surfaces, but they nonetheless form minimum energy structures, and the Ga-rich reconstructions for each surface are found to have a metallic character involving significant overlap between Ga valence electrons.
