    • A sidewall of an underlying gallium nitride layer is laterally grown into a trench in the underlying gallium nitride layer, to thereby form a lateral gallium nitride semiconductor layer. Microelectronic devices may then be formed in the lateral gallium nitride layer. Dislocation defects do not significantly propagate laterally from the sidewall into the trench in the underlying gallium nitride layer, so that the lateral gallium nitride semiconductor layer is relatively defect free. Moreover, the sidewall growth may be accomplished without the need to mask portions of the underlying gallium nitride layer during growth of the lateral gallium nitride layer. The defect density of the lateral gallium nitride semiconductor layer may be further decreased by growing a second gallium nitride semiconductor layer from the lateral gallium nitride layer. In one embodiment, the lateral gallium nitride layer is masked with a mask that includes an array of openings therein. The lateral gallium nitride layer is then grown through the array of openings and onto the mask, to thereby form an overgrown gallium nitride semiconductor layer. In another embodiment, the lateral gallium nitride layer is grown vertically. A plurality of second sidewalls are formed in the vertically grown gallium nitride layer to define a plurality of second trenches. The plurality of second sidewalls of the vertically grown gallium nitride layer are then laterally grown into the plurality of second trenches, to thereby form a second lateral gallium nitride layer. Microelectronic devices are then formed in the gallium nitride semiconductor layer.
    • 下面的氮化镓层的侧壁横向生长在下面的氮化镓层中的沟槽中,从而形成横向氮化镓半导体层。 然后可以在横向氮化镓层中形成微电子器件。 位错缺陷不会从侧壁横向渗透到下面的氮化镓层中的沟槽中,使得侧向氮化镓半导体层相对无缺陷。 此外,可以在横向氮化镓层的生长期间不需要掩盖下面的氮化镓层的部分来实现侧壁生长。 通过从侧向氮化镓层生长第二氮化镓半导体层,可以进一步降低横向氮化镓半导体层的缺陷密度。 在一个实施例中,横向氮化镓层用包括其中的开口阵列的掩模掩蔽。 然后横向氮化镓层通过开口阵列生长到掩模上,从而形成过度生长的氮化镓半导体层。 在另一个实施例中,横向氮化镓层垂直生长。 在垂直生长的氮化镓层中形成多个第二侧壁以限定多个第二沟槽。 然后将垂直生长的氮化镓层的多个第二侧壁横向生长成多个第二沟槽,从而形成第二横向氮化镓层。 然后在氮化镓半导体层中形成微电子器件。
