Description
シリコンは、適切なドーパントである。
したがって、図6の層構造の層26および27に対して、約500℃から約1050℃までの範囲内の成長温度を用いることは、用いる成長技術にかかわらず良好な材料品質をもたらすはずである。例外的に、InGaNやAlGaInN等のようなインジウム含有材料の成長のための概算の温度上限は、850℃の温度である。これは、850℃より著しく大きな温度ではインジウムを材料に含ませることが困難であるためである。インジウムを含む層の成長については、例えば層27がInGaN層である場合、あるいはアルミニウム含有窒化物層26がAlGaInN層である場合には、約500℃から約850℃までの範囲内の成長温度を用いることが、用いる成長技術にかかわらず良好な材料品質をもたらすはずである。
