제목 Formation of network air tunnel and its effect on reducing chemical attack through chemical lift off process
초록 Lift off process is needed for fabrication of gallium nitride (GaN) based vertical light emitting diode (V-LED).  
In this study, we proposed new way to shorten a time required for chemical lift off by network air tunnel (NAT) to reduce a chemical damage of GaN .
The NAT structure was fabricated on patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) by selective growth of GaN on top of the patterns. After coating photoresist on PSS, top of the pattern was revealed as time goes on during the pyrolysis of photoresist (PR) and selective growth of GaN started in the exposed pattern area. Fabrication of GaN template was completed through epitaxial lateral overgrowth and NAT was formed along bottom plane of the PSS because PR was etched  gradually through hydrogen cyanide reaction (C + NH3 → HCN + H2) during GaN growth. The presence of the NAT enabled rapid penetration of the chemical and shortened a process time of CLO. Therefore chemical attack of GaN is reduced as process time decreases.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to confirm both the formation of NAT and the effect of NAT on chemical damage through CLO process and x-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for estimating degree of GaN crystallinity.
