The anisotropic strain of a nonpolar (1120) a-plane GaN epilayer on an r-plane (1102) sapphire substrate, grown by low-pressure metal-organic vapour deposition is investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The room-temperature Raman scattering spectra of nonpolar a-plane GaN are measured in surface and edge backscattering geometries. The lattice is contracted in both the c- and the m-axis directions, and the stress in the m-axis direction is larger than that in the c-axis direction. On the surface of this sample, a number of cracks appear only along the m-axis, which is confirmed by the scanning electron micrograph. Atomic force microscopy images reveal a significant decrease in the root-mean-square roughness and the density of submicron pits after the stress relief. 相似文献

This paper presents the investigation of low dimensional GaN structures synthesized from Ni-catalyzed chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method under two different conditions, i.e. Ga source and substrate position. Comparative studies based on the morphological, structural and optical characteristics of synthesized GaN wires were carried out in this work. The variations of morphological and dimensional aspects of the GaN wires were attributed to the position of Ga precursor and substrates. These factors were found to be able to influence the degree of supersaturation of gaseous reactants, which is essential in the growth of GaN wires by vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism. The synthesized GaN wires typically were found to have diameters ranging 35-80 nm (nanowires) and 0.4-1.3 μm (microwires), respectively, with length up to several ten of microns. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that the grown GaN wires were hexagonal wurzite phase. Ultraviolet (UV) and blue emissions were observed from photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Raman spectra displayed asymmetrical and broadened bands which could be ascribed to the size effect, surface disorder and internal strain of the synthesized GaN wires. 相似文献

Effects of SiNx on two-dimensional electron gas and current collapse of A1GaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors 下载免费PDF全文
SiNx is commonly used as a passivation material for AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). In this paper, the effects of SiN x passivation film on both two-dimensional electron gas characteristics and current collapse of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs are investigated. The SiNx films are deposited by high- and low-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition, and they display different strains on the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure, which can explain the experiment results. 相似文献

This paper presents the investigation of the properties of GaN nanowires synthesized from Ni-catalyzed chemical vapour deposition method under various growth temperatures. The influence of the growth temperatures on the morphological, structural and optical characteristics of the synthesized GaN nanowires was investigated in this work. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the 950 °C was the optimal growth temperature for synthesizing uniform, straight and smooth morphology of GaN nanowires. X-ray diffraction results demonstrated that the synthesized low dimensional GaN structures have the hexagonal wurtzite structure. Ultraviolet and blue emissions were detected from photoluminescence measurements. In addition, phonon replicas with the energy separation of 90 meV have been observed at the lower energy of the blue emission region in photoluminescence spectra. 相似文献

The influence of AlN/GaN superlattice intermediate layer on the properties of GaN grown on Si(111) substrates 下载免费PDF全文
AlN/GaN superlattice buffer is inserted between GaN epitaxial layer
and Si substrate before epitaxial growth of GaN layer. High-quality
and crack-free GaN epitaxial layers can be obtained by inserting
AlN/GaN superlattice buffer layer. The influence of AlN/GaN
superlattice buffer layer on the properties of GaN films are
investigated in this paper. One of the important roles of the
superlattice is to release tensile strain between Si substrate and
epilayer. Raman spectra show a substantial decrease of in-plane
tensile strain in GaN layers by using AlN/GaN superlattice buffer
layer. Moreover, TEM cross-sectional images show that the densities
of both screw and edge dislocations are significantly reduced. The
GaN films grown on Si with the superlattice buffer also have better
surface morphology and optical properties. 相似文献

Gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires grown on nickel-coated n-type Si (1 0 0) substrates have been synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and the field emission properties of GaN nanowires have been studied. The results show that (1) the grown GaN nanowires, which have diameters in the range of 50-100 nm and lengths of several micrometers, are uniformly distributed on Si substrates. The characteristics of the grown GaN nanowires have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and through these investigations it was found that the GaN nanowires are of a good crystalline quality (2) When the emission current density is 100 μA/cm2, the necessary electric field is an open electric field of around 9.1 V/μm (at room temperature). The field enhancement factor is ∼730. The field emission properties of GaN nanowires films are related both to the surface roughness and the density of the nanowires in the film. 相似文献

Nanometric gallium-nitride rods were grown on a silicon (1 1 1) substrate through a chemical vapor deposition process with gold particles as the catalyst. Randomly distributed gallium-nitride rods of 20–200 nm in diameter and of various densities and lengths were formed under different deposition conditions. Characterization analyses, such as scanning electron microscopy and optical reflection spectroscopy, have been carried out on samples containing gallium-nitride rods different in size, shape, length and density. While the scanning electron microscopy shows directly the images of the sample surfaces, the optical spectroscopy provides a nondestructive evaluation of the sample surfaces, especially helpful for checking the uniformity of the samples. 相似文献

The non-polar a-plane GaN is grown on an r-plane sapphire substrate directly without a buffer layer by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition and the effects of V/III ratio growth conditions are investigated. Atomic force microscopy results show that triangular pits are formed at a relatively high V/III ratio, while a relatively low V/III ratio can enhance the lateral growth rate along the c-axis direction. The higher V/III ratio leads to a high density of pits in comparison with the lower V/III ratio. The surface morphology is improved greatly by using a low V/III ratio of 500 and the roughness mean square of the surface is only 3.9 nm. The high resolution X-ray diffraction characterized crystal structural results show that the rocking curve full width at half maximum along the m axis decreases from 0.757° to 0.720°, while along the c axis increases from 0.220° to 0.251° with the V/III increasing from 500 μmol/min to 2000 μmol/min, which indicates that a relatively low V/III ratio is conducible to the c-axis growth of a-plane GaN. 相似文献

To improve ablation resistance of C/C composites, HfC-based coating and SiC coating were prepared on the surface of C/C composites by chemical vapor deposition. The coating exhibits dense surface and outstanding anti-ablation ability. Compared with uncoated C/C, the linear and mass ablation rates of the coated C/C decreased by 33.3% and 66.7%, respectively, after ablation for 20 s. The residual oxides can prevent oxygen from diffusing inwardly; large amounts of heat can be taken away by the gas generated during ablation, which is also helpful for protection. 相似文献

Synthesis and characterization of GaN nanowires by a catalyst assisted chemical vapor deposition 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

GaN nanowires have been fabricated on Si(1 1 1) substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with NiCl2 as catalyst and their compositions, microstructures, morphologies and light emitting properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectrophotometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL). The results demonstrate that the nanowires are single-crystal GaN with hexagonal wurtzite structure and high crystalline quality, having the size of 20-50 nm in diameter and several tens of microns in length with some nano-droplets on their tips, which reveals that the growth mechanism of GaN nanowires agrees with vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process. Five first-order Raman active phonon bands move to low shift and A1(TO), E1(TO), and E2 (high) bands are overlapped and broaden, which is caused by uncertainty in the phonon wave vector. Five non-first-order active Raman phonons also appear, which is caused by the small dimension and high surface disorder degree. A blue-shift of the band-gap emission occurs due to quantum confinement effect. 相似文献

Epitaxial evolution on buried cracks in a strain-controlled AlN/GaN superlattice interlayer between AlGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells and a GaN template 下载免费PDF全文
Epitaxial evolution of buried cracks in a strain-controlled AlN/GaN superlattice interlayer(IL) grown on GaN template, resulting in crack-free AlGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells(MQW), was investigated. The processes of filling the buried cracks include crack formation in the IL, coalescence from both side walls of the crack, build-up of an MQW-layer hump above the cracks, lateral expansion and merging with the surrounding MQW, and two-dimensional step flow growth.It was confirmed that the filling content in the buried cracks is pure GaN, originating from the deposition of the GaN thin layer directly after the IL. Migration of Ga adatoms into the cracks plays a key role in the filling the buried cracks. 相似文献

Optical and structural investigation of a-plane GaN layers on r-plane sapphire with nucleation layer optimization 下载免费PDF全文
Nonpolar a-plane GaN epilayers are grown on several r-plane sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition using different nucleation layers:(A) a GaN nucleation layer deposited at low temperature(LT);(B) an AlN nucleation layer deposited at high temperature;or(C) an LT thin AlN nucleation layer with an AlN layer and an AlN/AlGaN superlattice both subsequently deposited at high temperature.The samples have been characterized by Xray diffraction(XRD),atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence.The GaN layers grown using nucleation layers B and C show narrower XRD rocking curves than that using nucleation layer A,indicating a reduction in crystal defect density.Furthermore,the GaN layer grown using nucleation layer C exhibits a surface morphology with triangular defect pits eliminated completely.The improved optical property,corresponding to the enhanced crystal quality,is also confirmed by temperature-dependent and excitation power-dependent photoluminescence measurements. 相似文献

Effects of donor density and temperature on electron systems in AlGaN/AlN/GaN and AlGaN/GaN structures 下载免费PDF全文
It was reported by Shen et al that the
two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in an AlGaN/AlN/GaN structure showed high
density and improved mobility compared with an AlGaN/GaN structure, but the
potential of the AlGaN/AlN/GaN structure needs further exploration. By the
self-consistent solving of one-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger--Poisson
equations, theoretical investigation is carried out about the effects of
donor density (0--1\times 1019cm-3 and temperature
(50--500K) on the electron systems in the AlGaN/AlN/GaN and AlGaN/GaN
structures. It is found that in the former structure, since the effective
\Delta Ec is larger, the efficiency with which the 2DEG absorbs the
electrons originating
from donor ionization is higher, the resistance to parallel conduction is
stronger, and the deterioration of 2DEG mobility is slower as the donor
density rises. When temperature rises, the three-dimensional properties of
the whole electron system become prominent for both of the structures, but the
stability of 2DEG is higher in the former structure, which is also ascribed
to the larger effective \Delta Ec. The Capacitance--Voltage
(C-V) carrier density
profiles at different temperatures are measured for two Schottky diodes on
the considered heterostructure samples separately, showing obviously
different 2DEG densities. And the temperature-dependent tendency of the
experimental curves agrees well with our calculations. 相似文献

文章基于蓝宝石衬底采用脉冲金属有机物化学气相淀积(MOCVD)法生长的高迁移率InAlN/GaN材料,其霍尔迁移率在室温和77 K下分别达到949和2032 cm2/Vs,材料中形成了二维电子气(2DEG). 进一步引入1.2 nm的AlN界面插入层形成InAlN/AlN/GaN结构,则霍尔迁移率在室温和77 K下分别上升到1437和5308 cm2/Vs. 分析样品的X射线衍射、原子力显微镜测试结果以及脉冲MOCVD生长方法的特点,发现InAlN/GaN材料的结晶质量较高,与GaN晶格匹配的InAlN材料具有平滑的表面和界面. InAlN/GaN和InAlN/AlN/GaN材料形成高迁移率特性的主要原因归结为形成了密度相对较低(1.6×1013-1.8×1013 cm-2)的2DEG,高质量的InAlN晶体降低了组分不均匀分布引起的合金无序散射,以及2DEG所在界面的粗糙度较小,削弱了界面粗糙度散射.

采用O2等离子体及HF溶液对AlGaN/GaN异质结材料进行表面处理后,Ni/Au肖特基接触特性比未处理有了明显改善,反向泄漏电流减小3个数量级.对制备的肖特基接触进行200—600℃ 5min的N2气氛退火,发现退火冷却后肖特基反向泄漏电流随退火温度增大进一步减小.N2气中600℃退火后肖特基二极管C-V特性曲线在不同频率下一致性变好,这表明退火中Ni向材料表面扩散减小了表面陷阱密度;C-V特性曲线随退火温度增大向右移动,从二维电子气耗尽电压绝对值减小反映了肖特基势垒的提高.

文章研究了InAlN/GaN和引入AlN界面插入层形成的InAlN/AlN/GaN材料的输运性质. 样品均在蓝宝石上以脉冲金属有机物化学气相淀积法生长,霍尔迁移率变温特性具有典型的二维电子气(2DEG)特征. 综合各种散射机理包括声学形变势散射、压电散射、极性光学声子散射、位错散射、合金无序散射和界面粗糙度散射,理论分析了温度对迁移率的影响,发现室温下两种材料中2DEG支配性的散射机理都是极性光学波散射和界面粗糙度散射;AlN插入层对InAlN/GaN材料迁移率的改善作用一方面是免除2DEG的合金无序散射,另外还显著改善异质界面,抑制了界面粗糙度散射. 考虑到2DEG密度也是影响其迁移率的重要因素,结合实验数据给出了晶格匹配InAlN/GaN和InAlN/AlN/GaN材料的2DEG迁移率随电子密度变化的理论上限.
