Surface Acoustic Wave Propagation of GaN/Sapphire Integrated with a Gold Guiding Layer
View through CrossRef
Gallium nitride (GaN), widely known as a wide bandgap semiconductor material, has been mostly employed in high power devices, light emitting diodes (LED), and optoelectronic applications. However, it could be exploited differently due to its piezoelectric properties, such as its higher SAW velocity and strong electromechanical coupling. In this study, we investigated the affect of the presence of a guiding layer made from titanium/gold on the surface acoustic wave propagation of the GaN/sapphire substrate. By fixing the minimum thickness of the guiding layer at 200 nm, we could observe a slight frequency shift compared to the sample without a guiding layer, with the presence of different types of surface mode waves (Rayleigh and Sezawa). This thin guiding layer could be efficient in transforming the propagation modes, acting as a sensing layer for the binding of biomolecules to the gold layer, and influencing the output signal in terms of frequency or velocity. The proposed GaN/sapphire device integrated with a guiding layer could possibly be used as a biosensor and in wireless telecommunication applications.
