| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
The goal of this proposal is to realize Gallium nitride superjunction (GaN SJ) power device with p-GaN layer activated using an ArF laser for the first time. GaN SJ device is a candidate for next generation power devices. However, SJ structure fabrication is very difficult, due to the alternating p- and n- layers needed. Although the alternating n- and p- SJ structure can be achieved by selective ion implantation, a more elegant approach is to use selective ArF excimer laser annealing which can define the p-GaN region by laser irradiation. This will be the first realization of this technique.

| 研究実績の概要 |
Main goal is to realize GaN SJ device with p-GaN region selectively activated via ArF laser. This will be an original proof of concept for SJ structure fabrication that is difficult to make due to alternating p-&n- layers needed. ArF laser activation of Mg-doped GaN device was investigated. We have achieved laser activation resistivity comparable to thermally activated Mg-doped GaN, which suggest feasibility of laser activation. Our results reveal some insights on the fundamental activation mechanism of laser annealing, that is probable thermal mechanism is responsible for acceptor laser activation. Also, it is still a challenged to achieve good ohmic contact for p-GaN device.So, we also studied Indium as low temperature annealed contact& achieved low contact resistance with In/Au metal

3: やや遅れている
理由
We have presented laser activation annealing of an Mg-doped GaN four-point probe small mesa device using ArF excimer laser in SPIE photonics west 2024 (international conference). And just submitted a paper in a journal.
We have also presented some results to domestic conferences and international conference within japan. We also bought the co-doped GaN wafers last year. However, the Gallium export restrictions from Chinese government result to longer delivery lead time. Currently, I am still waiting for the delivery of the co-doped wafer and continuously talking with Enkris about the possible delivery date. This delay on wafer delivery is the only reason for the slightly delayed status.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
While waiting for the co-doped wafer delivery, we are continuously improving the laser activation annealing setup. That is, different program of the programmable laser scanning stage will be investigated in preparation for the fabrication of GaN SJ device. Moreover, if the co-doped wafers will be received, we plan to immediately do laser activation on a small area device and then, scan a bigger area using laser scanning. And if possible, do fabrication of the device.
