研究目的
Investigating the integration of Ga2O3 on SiC substrate to reduce the self-heating of Ga2O3 devices through direct wafer bonding at room temperature.
研究成果
Direct wafer bonding of SiC and β-Ga2O3 was successfully realized at room temperature using SAB method with a Si-containing Ar ion beam, achieving an average bonding energy of ~2.31 J/m2. The interface analysis revealed amorphous layers and slight diffusion at room temperature, with further diffusion confirmed after annealing. The integration of Ga2O3 and SiC via wafer bonding is expected to reduce the self-heating of Ga2O3 devices at a low cost in the future.
研究不足
The study focuses on the bonding mechanism and interface analysis at room temperature and after annealing at 473 K. The effect of interfacial diffusion during annealing on device performance requires further evaluation depending on specific applications.
