Abstract:
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is used for heteroepitaxial film growth at reaction temperatures ranging from 80-400° C. The substrate and film materials are preferably matched to take advantage of Domain Matched Epitaxy (DME). A laser annealing system is used to thermally anneal deposition layer after deposition by ALD. In preferred embodiments, a silicon substrate is overlaid with an AlN nucleation layer and laser annealed. Thereafter a GaN device layer is applied over the AlN layer by an ALD process and then laser annealed. In a further example embodiment, a transition layer is applied between the GaN device layer and the AlN nucleation layer. The transition layer comprises one or more different transition material layers each comprising a Al x Ga 1-x N compound wherein the composition of the transition layer is continuously varied from AlN to GaN.

Claim (Index 17):
A solid state element formed by a method comprising:\n depositing, by a first atomic layer deposition method, a first material deposition layer over a coating surface of a silicon substrate; depositing, by a second atomic layer deposition method, a second material deposition layer over the first deposition layer, the second material composition being different than the first material composition; wherein each of the first and the second atomic layer deposition methods is performed at a reaction temperature of between 80\u00b0 C. and 800\u00b0 C. and each of the deposition layers is characterized by an as applied crystal lattice structure; and heating at least one of the first and second deposition layers to an annealing temperature above 900\u00b0 C. for less than 20 msec to alter the as applied crystal lattice of the heated deposition layer.
