Polar Dependence of Threading Dislocation Density in GaN Films Grown by Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition

We investigate the threading dislocation(TD) density in N-polar and Ga-polar GaN films grown on sapphire substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition.X-ray diffraction results reveal that the proportion of screw type TDs in N-polar GaN is much larger and the proportion of edge type TDs is much smaller than that in Ga-polar.Transmission electron microscope results show that the interface between the AlN nucleation layer and the GaN layer in N-polar films is smoother than that in Ga-polar films,which suggests different growth modes of GaN.This observation explains the encountered difference in screw and edge TD density.A model is proposed to explain this phenomenon.     

The influence of nitridation time on the structural properties of GaN grown on Si (111) substrate

In the present paper, the effect of in-situ substrate nitridation time on crystalline quality of GaN films grown on Si (111) substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) were investigated. A thin buffer layer of silicon nitride (SiN _x ) with various thicknesses was achieved through the nitridation of substrate at different nitiridation times ranging from 0 to 660 s. The structural characteristics, such as dislocation densities, correlation lengths of columnar crystallites, the tilt and twist of the mosaic structure, and the angles of rotational disorder, were all studied in detail by using a planar and cross-sectional view of high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) performed at different scattering geometries. It was found that the dislocation densities, lateral coherence lengths, vertical coherence lengths, and the tilt and twist of mosaic blocks in GaN films monotonically varies with the nitridation time. The experimental findings showed that the nitridation times had more influence on edge dislocation densities than the screw type.     

Structural and optical characterization of GaN heteroepitaxial films on SiC substrates

We have estimated the threading dislocation density and type via X-ray diffraction and Williamson-Hall analysis to elicit qualitative information directly related to the electrical and optical quality of GaN epitaxial layers grown by PAMBE on 4H- and 6H-SiC substrates. The substrate surface preparation and buffer choice, specifically: Ga flashing for SiC oxide removal, controlled nitridation of SiC, and use of AlN buffer layers all impact the resultant screw dislocation density, but do not significantly influence the edge dislocation density. We show that modification of the substrate surface strongly affects the screw dislocation density, presumably due to impact on nucleation during the initial stages of heteroepitaxy.

The effects of sapphire nitridation on GaN growth by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition

In situ optical reflectivity measurements are employed to monitor the GaN epilayer growth process above a low-temperature GaN buffer layer on a c-plane sapphire substrate by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition. It is found that the lateral growth of the GaN islands and their coalescence are promoted in the initial growth stage if optimized nitridation time and temperature are selected when the substrate is pre-exposed to ammonia. As confirmed by atomic force microscopy observations, the quality of the GaN epilayers is closely dependent on the surface morphology of the nitridated buffer layer, especially grain size and nucleation density.

Microstructure of bulk GaN layer grown on sapphire substrates with amorphous buffer

The structure of bulk GaN layers grown on (0001) sapphire substrates by vapor-phase epitaxy has been studied by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is found that these layers contain grown-in and screw dislocations. The dislocation density decreases away from the interface. The effect of an amorphous buffer layer on the formation of the initial GaN layer and, thus, on the degree of perfection of gallium nitride layers is elucidated. A model of generating grown-in dislocations and the relaxation mechanism of misfit stresses are proposed.     

Luminescence of a GaN grain with a nonpolar and semipolar plane in relation to microstructural characterization

We report on the growth of the high-quality GaN grain on a r-plane sapphire substrate by using a self-organized SiN interlayer as a selective growth mask.Transmission electron microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and Raman spectroscopy are used to reveal the effect of SiN on the overgrown a-plane GaN growth.The SiN layer effectively terminates the propagation of the threading dislocation and basal plane stacking faults during a-plane GaN regrowth through the interlayer,resulting in the window region shrinking from a rectangle to a "black hole".Furthermore,strong yellow luminescence(YL) in the nonpolar plane and very weak YL in the semipolar plane on the GaN grain is revealed by cathodoluminescence,suggesting that C-involved defects are responsible for the YL.     

Intrinsic relationship between photoluminescence and electrical characteristics in modulation Fe-doped AlGaN/GaN HEMTs

The photoluminescence(PL) and electrical properties of Al GaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs) with different Fe doping concentrations in the GaN buffer layers were studied. It was found that, at low Fe doping concentrations,the introduction of Fe atoms can result in a downward shift of the Fermi level in the GaN buffer layer, since the Fe atoms substitute Ga and introduce an Fe_(Ga)~(3+/2+) acceptor level. This results in a decrease in the yellow luminescence(YL) emission intensity accompanied by the appearance of an infrared(IR) emission, and a decrease in the off-state buffer leakage current(BLC). However, a further increase in the Fe doping concentration will conversely result in the upward shift of the Fermi level due to the incorporation of O donors under the large flow rate of the Fe source. This results in an increased YL emission intensity accompanied by a decrease in the IR emission intensity, and an increase in the BLC. The intrinsic relationship between the PL and BLC characteristics is expected to provide a simple and effective method to understand the variation of the electrical characteristic in the modulation Fe-doped HEMTs by optical measurements.
