Abstract
Gallium nitride (GaN) is the main component of modern-day high electron mobility transistors due to its favorable electronic properties. As electronic devices become smaller with more complex surface architecture, the ability to deposit high-quality GaN films at low temperatures is required. Herein, we report a new highly volatile Ga(III) triazenide precursor and demonstrate its ability to deposit high-quality epitaxial GaN by atomic layer deposition (ALD). This new Ga(III) triazenide, the first hexacoordinated Ga-N bonded precursor used in a vapor deposition process, was easily synthesized and purified by either sublimation or recrystallisation. Thermogravimetric analysis showed single-step volatilization with an onset temperature of 155 degrees C and negligible residual mass. Three temperature intervals with self-limiting growth were observed when depositing GaN films. The GaN films grown in the second growth interval at 350 degrees C were epitaxial on 4H-SiC without an AlN seed layer and found to have a near stoichiometric Ga/N ratio with very low levels of impurities. In addition, electron microstructure analysis showed a smooth film surface and a sharp interface between the substrate and film. The band gap of these films was 3.41 eV with the Fermi level at 1.90 eV, showing that the GaN films were unintentionally n-type-doped. This new triazenide precursor enables ALD of GaN for semiconductor applications and provides a new Ga(III) precursor for future deposition processes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
