摘要

N-polar and Ⅲ-polar GaN and AlN epitaxial thin films grown side by side on single sapphire substrate was reported.Surface morphology,wet etching susceptibility and bi-axial strain conditions were investigated and the polarity control scheme was utilized in the fabrication of Schottky barrier diode where ohmic contact and Schottky contact were deposited on N-polar domains and Ga-polar domains,respectively.The influence of N-polarity on on-state resistivity and Ⅰ–Ⅴ characteristic was discussed,demonstrating that lateral polarity structure of GaN and AlN can be widely used in new designs of optoelectronic and electronic devices.
