Overview
Ultraviolet lasers require operation at high currents and high powers, making vertical device structures advantageous. To achieve this structure, a delamination technique using pressurized hot water on nano-pillar-patterned AlN layers has been reported. The formation state of the AlN nano-pillars significantly affects the delamination characteristics and the crystallinity of the overlying AlGaN layer. This presentation reports on the results of the AlN nano-pillar layer evaluated using multiple analytical techniques based on X-ray diffraction method.

Enhancing Semiconductor Device Reliability through Surface Metal Contamination Analysis | Surface Metal Analysis for SiC & GaN Devices
Accurate detection of surface metal contamination is critical for ensuring semiconductor device performance, yield, and long-term reliability. As device geometries shrink and advanced materials such as SiC (Silicon Carbide) and GaN (Gallium Nitride) become mainstream in power semiconductor applications, the need for ultra-sensitive contamination analysis continues to grow.
This technical seminar introduces the TXRF3760 Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence (TXRF) Spectrometer, a high-sensitivity solution for surface metal contamination analysis in advanced semiconductor manufacturing environments.
Participants will learn how surface metal contamination impacts semiconductor device reliability, gain a clear understanding of the fundamentals of Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF) analysis, and explore the key features and advantages of the TXRF3760 system. The seminar will also present application examples for Si, SiC, and GaN devices, highlighting how TXRF supports process development and quality control.
This session is ideal for: semiconductor process engineers, contamination control and yield specialists, failure analysis and reliability engineers, as well as quality assurance and materials characterization professionals.
