Single-phase two-dimensional (2D) indium monoselenide (γ-InSe) film is successfully grown via solid phase epitaxy in the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. Having high electron mobility and high photoresponsivity, ultrathin 2D γ-InSe semiconductors are attractive for future field-effect transistor and optoelectronic devices. However, growing single-phase γ-InSe film is a challenge due to the polymorphic nature of indium selenide (γ-InSe, α-In2Se3, β-In2Se3, γ-In2Se3, etc.). In this work, the 2D α-In2Se3 film was first grown on a sapphire substrate by MBE. Then, the high In/Se ratio sources were deposited on the α-In2Se3 surface, and an γ-InSe crystal emerged via solid-phase epitaxy. After 50 min of deposition, the initially 2D α-In2Se3 phase was also transformed into a 2D γ-InSe crystal. The phase transition from 2D α-In2Se3 to γ-InSe was confirmed by Raman, XRD, and TEM analysis. The structural ordering of 2D γ-InSe film was characterized by synchrotron-based grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS).
AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) was grown on silicon carbide substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition technique. The AlGaN/GaN structure was optimized by tuning the growth conditions such as AlN buffer thickness, and the Al composition and thickness of AlGaN barrier layer. As a result, the X-ray rocking curve widths were 277 arcsec and 324 arcsec for the GaN (002) and (102) planes, respectively, indicating a high crystalline quality. Hall measurement showed that the AlGaN/GaN structure has a high electron mobility of 1840 (cm 2 /V-s) and a sheet electron concentration of 9.85 ×10 12 cm- 2 . Besides, HEMT device with sub-micron gate-length (0.7 μm) was also successfully fabricated. DC measurement showed that the HEMT device has a saturated current of 800 mA/mm, a transconductance of 257 mS/mm and an off-state breakdown voltage larger than 100 V. For RF performance, the device has achieved an output power density (P out ), gain, and power added efficiency (PAE) of 7 W/mm, 23.5 dB and 61.7%, respectively, measured at 2 GHz frequency. On the other hand, the RF performance measured at 8 GHz showed that the device could achieve P out , gain and PAE of 5.01 W/mm, 14.9 dB and 26.23% respectively.
