Abstract

Methods are provided of fabricating a nitride semiconductor structure. A group-III precursor and a nitrogen precursor are flowed into a processing chamber to deposit a first layer over one side of the substrate with a thermal chemical-vapor-deposition process. A second layer is similarly deposited over an opposite side of the substrate using the group-III precursor and the nitrogen precursor. The substrate is cooled after depositing the first and second layers without substantially deforming a shape of the substrate.
