Abstract
A method for manufacturing an III-nitride semiconductor structure is provided. The method includes providing a substrate comprising a first layer having an upper surface of monocrystalline III-nitride material; providing, over the upper surface, a patterned dielectric layer comprising a first dielectric feature; loading the substrate into a process chamber; exposing the substrate to a first gas mixture comprising at least one Group III-metal organic precursor gas, a nitrogen containing gas and hydrogen gas at a predetermined temperature, thereby forming, on the upper surface, a second layer of a monocrystalline III-nitride material by area selective growth wherein two opposing sidewalls of the dielectric feature are oriented parallel to one of the {11-20} crystal planes of the first layer such that upon formation of the second layer of the monocrystalline III-nitride material, a first trench having tapered sidewalls is formed so that the crystal plane of the second layer parallel to the tapered sidewalls is one of the {1-101} crystal planes.
