Gallium Nitride (GaN) has a great potential in high-power and high-frequency applications due to its wide energy gap and good transport property. So far all commercial GaN optoelectronic and electronic devices have planar junctions and heterostructures prepared by epitaxial growth. To take the advantage of the merits of GaN material properties, more sophisticated device configurations such as current-aperture vertical electron transistors (CAVETs), junction field-effect transistors (JFETs), and super-junction (SJ) devices require the ability to form in-plane, lateral junctions by selective area doping (SAD). In this project, we explored a novel approach of realizing SAD through selective-area etching (SAE) followed by selective-area growth (SAG).
