Patent 7368309 was granted and assigned to LG on May, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The present invention relates to nitride semiconductor, and more particularly, to GaN-based nitride semiconductor and fabrication method thereof. The nitride semiconductor according to the present invention comprises a substrate; a GaN-based buffer layer formed in any one of a group of three-layered structure AlyInxGa1−(x+y)N/InxGa1−xN/GaN where 0≦x≦1 and 0≦y≦1, two-layered structure InxGa1−xN/GaN where 0≦x≦1 and superlattice structure of InxGa1−xN/GaN where 0≦x≦1; and a GaN-based single crystalline layer.
