Abstract Scope |
Cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor with properties appropriate for high power, high frequency electronics for extreme environments (high temperature, high radiation, and corrosive environments). The 6.4 eV bandgap of c-BN projects a breakdown field > 12 MV/cm. Moreover, n-type doping with S and Si (~0.3eV) and p-type doping with Be and Mg (~0.24 eV) have been demonstrated. The measured electron mobility of 825 cm2/V-s agree reasonably with theoretical values of 956 to 1680 cm2/V-s. In this talk, I will discuss our recent research efforts on epitaxial c-BN on diamond structures using ECR plasma enhanced CVD. The 150 nm thick c-BN films grown on single crystal diamond substrates are stable against delamination. The potential of epitaxial c-BN for different device configurations will be also discussed.
