Abstract

A method of growing GaN material on a silicon substrate includes providing a single crystal silicon substrate with a (100) surface orientation or a (100) with up to a 10° offset surface orientation and using epi-twist technology, epitaxially growing a single crystal stress managing layer on the silicon substrate. The single crystal stress managing layer includes rare earth oxide with a (110) crystal orientation and a cubic crystal structure. The method further includes epitaxially growing a single crystal buffer layer on the stress managing layer. The single crystal buffer layer includes rare earth oxide with a lattice spacing closer to a lattice spacing of GaN than the rare earth oxide of the stress managing layer. Epitaxially growing a layer of single crystal GaN material on the surface of the buffer, the GaN material having one of a (11-20) crystal orientation and a (0001) crystal orientation.
