Outline of Final Research Achievements |
GaN and diamond direct bonding were successfully fabricated at room temperature and the bonding interface demonstrated a high thermal stability of 1000°C. The intermediate layer thickness decreased with increasing annealing temperature due to the direct conversion of amorphous carbon into diamond. After annealing at 1000 °C, the thickness of the intermediate layer was decreased to 1.5 nm, where lattice fringes were observed. These results demonstrate that the GaN/diamond heterointerface has high mechanical stability and can withstand the harsh device fabrication process. Room-temperature bonding of diamond and Ga2O3 was achieved, and the interface structure was investigated. p+-Si/p-diamond and n+-Si/p-diamond heterojunction diodes were successfully fabricated by direct bonding Si and diamond and their current-voltage and current-voltage-temperature characteristics were investigated. The improvement of the ideality factor and the reduction of the leakage current was obtained.
