用等离子体辅助分子束外延生长氧化锌单晶薄膜

利用等离子体辅助分子束外延(P-MBE)方法,通过优化生长条件,在c平面蓝宝石(Al_2O_3)上生长出氧化锌(ZnO)单晶薄膜。使用反射式高能衍射仪(RHEED)原位监测到样品表面十分平整,X射线摇摆曲线(XRC)测得ZnO薄膜的<002>取向半峰全宽为0.20°,证实为ZnO单晶薄膜。室温下吸收谱(ABS)和光致发光(PL)谱显示了较强的激子吸收和发射,且无深能级(DL)发光。电学性能测量表明,生长的ZnO为n型半导体,室温下载流于浓度为7×10~(16) cm~(-3),与体单晶ZnO中的载流子浓度相当。     

Elimination of Crystallographic Wing Tilt of Canti-Bridged Epitaxial Laterally Overgrown GaN Films by Optimizing Growth Procedure

Canti-bridged epitaxial lateral overgrowth （CBELO） of GaN is performed by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition （MOCVD） on maskless V-grooved sapphire substrates prepared by wet chemical etching with different mesa widths. The wing tilt usually observed in ELO is not found in the CBELO GaN with wide mesa widths, while it can be detected obviously in the GaN with narrow mesa widths. The wing tilt of CBELO GaN grown on a grooved sapphire substrate with narrow mesa can be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the nucleation layer. The dependence of the wing tilt on the nucleation layer thickness is studied. Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy is used to characterize the geometry of the wing regions, and double crystal x-ray diffraction is used to analyse the structural characteristics and to measure the magnitude of the crystalline wing tilt. It is found that the crystalline wing tilt can be eliminated completely by first growth of a thin nucleation GaN layer then the CBELO GaN. Possible reason and the origin of the wing tilt in CBELO GaN films are also discussed.     

Three-Step Growth Optimization of AlN Epilayers by MOCVD

A three-step growth process is developed for depositing high-quality aluminium-nitride （AlN） epilayers on （001） sapphire by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapour deposition （LP-MOCVD）. We adopt a low temperature （LT） A1N nucleation layer （NL）, and two high temperature （HT） A1N layers with different V/Ⅲ ratios. Our results reveal that the optimal NL temperature is 840-880℃, and there exists a proper growth switching from low to high V/Ⅲ ratio for further reducing threading dislocations （TDs）. The screw-type TD density of the optimized AIN film is just 7.86×10^6 cm^-2, about three orders lower than its edge-type one of 2×10^9 cm^-2 estimated by high-resolution x-ray diffraction （HRXRD） and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy （TEM）.     

等离子体增强分子束外延生长ZnO薄膜及光电特性的研究

利用等离子体辅助分子束外延设备(P-MBE)在蓝宝石(Al2O3)衬底上外延生长ZnO薄膜,研究了不同生长温度对结晶质量的影响.随着生长温度的升高,X射线摇摆曲线(XRC)半高宽从0.88°变窄至 0.29°,从原子力显微镜(AFM)图像中发现薄膜中晶粒从20nm左右增大至200nm,室温光致发光(PL)谱中显示了一个近带边的紫外光发射(UVE)和一个与深中心有关的可见光发射.随着生长温度升高,可见光发射逐渐变弱,薄膜的室温载流子浓度由1.06×1019/cm3减少到7.66×1016/cm3,表明在高温下生长的薄膜中锌氧化学计量比趋于平衡,高质量的ZnO薄膜被获得.通过测量变温光谱,证实所有样品在室温下PL谱中紫外发光都来自于自由激子发射;随着生长温度的变化UVE峰位蓝移与晶粒尺寸不同引起的量子限域效应相关.
