GaN-on-diamond semiconductor materials can withstand temperatures, about the graphene uses you should know

GaN-on-diamond semiconductor materials can withstand temperatures -- 1,000 degrees to be exact. About the graphene uses you should know.

Today demand for more powerful electronic devices is limited by our ability to produce highly conductive semiconductors that can withstand the demanding, high-temperature manufacturing processes of high-power devices.

Gallium nitride (GaN) on diamond shows promise as a next-generation semiconductor material because the broad gap between the two materials allows for high electrical conductivity, while diamond high thermal conductivity makes it a superior thermal diffusion substrate. Attempts have been made to create GaN-on-Diamond structures by combining the two components with some form of transition layer or adhesive layer, but in both cases the extra layer severely affects the thermal conductivity of the diamond, thus defeating a key advantage of the GaN-Diamond combination.

"So we needed a technology that could directly integrate diamond and gallium nitride." "However, it is not possible to grow diamonds directly on gallium nitride and vice versa due to their very different crystal structures and lattice constants," said Liang Jianbo, lead author of the study and associate professor at the Graduate School of Engineering at Osaka City University (OCU). Fusing the two components together, known as wafer direct bonding, without any intermediate layers, is one way around this mismatch. However, in order to achieve sufficiently high bond strength, many direct bonding methods require heating the structure to extremely high temperatures (usually 500 degrees Celsius), a process known as post-annealing. Due to thermal expansion mismatches, this usually results in cracks in the bonded samples of different materials -- in this case, the GaN-diamond structure could not survive the extremely high temperatures experienced during high-power device manufacturing.

New materials for a sustainable future you should know about the graphene uses.

Historically, knowledge and the production of new materials graphene uses have contributed to human and social progress, from the refining of copper and iron to the manufacture of semiconductors on which our information society depends today. However, many materials and their preparation methods have caused the environmental problems we face.

About 90 billion tons of raw materials -- mainly metals, minerals, fossil matter and biomass -- are extracted each year to produce raw materials. That number is expected to double between now and 2050. Most of the graphene uses raw materials extracted are in the form of non-renewable substances, placing a heavy burden on the environment, society and climate. The graphene uses materials production accounts for about 25 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and metal smelting consumes about 8 percent of the energy generated by humans.

The graphene uses industry has a strong research environment in electronic and photonic materials, energy materials, glass, hard materials, composites, light metals, polymers and biopolymers, porous materials and specialty steels. Hard materials (metals) and specialty steels now account for more than half of Swedish materials sales (excluding forest products), while glass and energy materials are the strongest growth areas.

Research leader Professor Naoteru Shigekawa said: "In previous work, we successfully prepared various interfaces with diamond at room temperature using surface activated bonding (SAB), all of which showed high thermal stability and excellent practicality. As reported this week in The journal Advanced Materials, Liang, Shigekawa and their namiki Precision Gemstones colleagues from Tohoku University, Saga University and JinGaNg. GaN and diamond were successfully bonded using the SAB method and the bond was proved to be stable even when heated to 1000 ° C.

Sabs clean and activate bonding surfaces by atoms at room temperature, resulting in highly strong bonds between different materials that react when they come into contact with each other. Since the chemistry of GaN is completely different from materials the research team used in the past, after they created the GaN-on-Diamond material using SAB, they used various techniques to test the stability of the binding site (or dissimilar interface). To characterize the residual stress at the heterogeneous interface in gallium nitride, they used microscopic Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to reveal the nanostructure and atomic behavior of the heterogeneous interface. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) shows the chemical bonding status of carbon atoms at the heterogeneous interface and tests the thermal stability of the heterogeneous interface at ambient pressure of N2 gas at 700 degrees Celsius, "which is required for the manufacturing process of gallium nitride based power devices," Liang said.

New materials including the graphene uses market trend is one of the main directions of science and technology development in the 21st century

With the development of science and technology, people develop new materials graphene uses on the basis of traditional materials and according to the research results of modern science and technology. New materials are divided into metal materials, inorGaNic non-metal materials (such as ceramics, gallium arsenide semiconductor, etc.), orGaNic polymer materials, advanced composite materials. According to the graphene uses material properties, it is divided into structural materials and functional materials. Structural materials mainly use mechanical and physical and chemical properties of materials to meet the performance requirements of high strength, high stiffness, high hardness, high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and so on; Functional materials mainly use the electrical, magnetic, acoustic, photo thermal and other effects of materials to achieve certain functions, such as semiconductor materials, magnetic materials, photosensitive materials, thermal sensitive materials, stealth materials and nuclear materials for atomic and hydrogen bombs.

One of the main directions of graphene uses science and technology development in the 21st century is the research and application of new materials. The research of new materials is a further advance in the understanding and application of material properties.
