Discovery Projects - Grant ID: DP0211468

Funded Activity Summary

Microprobing of Crystal Polarisation in Polycrystalline Compound Semiconductors. We will improve the quality of polycrystalline compound semiconductor thin films, grown by chemical vapour deposition. The novelty of the project is divided between applying new methods to assess film quality and deposition development. An expected outcome will be a measurement system with the unique capability of probing the spatial variation of dielectric polarisation with sub-micron resolution. Polycrystalline GaN recently been taken to state of the art performance at Macquarie University, will be the trial material. The information obtained will inform material improvement, with the ultimate aim of fabricating polycrystalline, GaN-based transistors and blue light-emitting diodes on glass substrates.
