氮化鋁銦
外观
氮化鋁銦(InAlN)是氮化銦和氮化鋁混合物組成的三五族半導體,用在电子学和光子学設備裡,和廣泛使用的氮化鎵性質類似。氮化鋁銦有大的直接带隙,在高達1000 °C的溫度下仍可以穩定工作,因此在需要良好穩定性及可靠度中的應用領域上,會特別關注此半導體[1],像是太空產業[2]。InAlN的高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT)因為其晶格可以和氮化鎵配合,可以避免像氮化鋁鎵HEMT的失效原因,因此在此產業中很受到注意。
InAlN的外延長晶是用有机金属化学气相沉积法[3]或分子束外延[4],配合其他半導體材料(例如氮化鎵、氮化鋁及其混合物來產生半導體的晶元,之後用作半導體零件中的主動元件。因為氮化鋁和氮化銦的性質差異很大[5],最佳成長的狹窄比例區間可能會有污染(形成氮化鋁銦鎵、晶體品質不良[6],氮化鋁銦的外延長晶格外困難,至少比氮化鋁鎵要困難。針對氮化鋁鎵最佳化的零件製造技術,需要因為氮化鋁銦的不同材料特性而進行調整[7]。
