The crystallographic tilt of the lateral epitaxial overgrown (LEO) GaN on sapphire substrate with SiNx mask is investigated by double crystal X-ray diffraction. Two wing peaks beside the GaN 0002 peak can be observed for the as-grown LEO GaN. During the selective etching of SiNx mask, each wing peak splits into two peaks, one of which disappears as the mask is removed, while the other remains unchanged. This indicates that the crystallographic tilt of the overgrown region is caused not only by the plastic deformation resulted from the bending of threading dislocations, but by the non-uniformity elastic deformation related with the GaN/SiNx interfacial forces. The widths of these two peaks are also studied in this paper.  相似文献

The effect of the N/Al ratio of AlN buffers on the optical and crystal quality of GaN films, grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on Si(1 1 1) substrates, has been investigated. By optimizing the N/Al ratio during the AlN buffer, the threading dislocation density and the tensile stress have been decreased. High-resolution X-ray diffraction exhibited a (0 0 0 2) full-width at half-maximum as low as 396 acrsec. The variations of the tensile stress existing in the GaN films were approved by the redshifts of the donor bound exiton peaks in the low-temperature photoluminescence measurement at 77 K.  相似文献

We studied the selective growth behaviors of InP through narrow openings (<2 μm) by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The lateral overgrowth was observed to be significantly affected by both the opening width and orientation. It was found that the lateral overgrowth length reached the maximum at 60° off [0 1 1] direction. The lateral overgrowth also showed a ‘diffraction-like’ behavior, with the overgrowth length increasing with decreasing opening width. Based on these results, a novel InP/InGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) structure with extrinsic base laterally overgrown on SiO2 is proposed. The device behaviors of the laterally regrown-base HBT prototypes are demonstrated.  相似文献

The influence of Al pre-deposition on the properties of AlN buffer layer and GaN layer grown on Si (1 1 1) substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) has been systematically studied. Compared with the sample without Al pre-deposition, optimum Al pre-deposition time could improve the AlN buffer layer crystal quality and reduce the root mean square (RMS) roughness. Whereas, overlong Al-deposition time deteriorated the AlN crystal quality and Al-deposition patterns could be found. Cracks and melt-back etching patterns appeared in the GaN layer grown without Al pre-deposition. With suitable Al-deposition time, crack-free 2.0 μm GaN was obtained and the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of (0 0 2) plane measured by double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXRD) was as low as 482 arcsec. However, overlong Al-deposition time would result in a great deal of cracks, and the crystal quality of GaN layer deteriorated. The surface of GaN layer became rough in the region where the Al-deposition patterns were formed due to overlong Al-deposition time.  相似文献

The growth conditions and mechanism of hexagonal GaN platelet crystals by Li flux were studied. The experimental results confirmed that these crystals crystallized from Li–Ga–N liquid phase. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra and Raman scattering spectrum of the crystals were obtained, which show that GaN crystals obtained by this method possess good crystalline quality.  相似文献

We present a detailed investigation on the influence of deposition conditions on morphological, structural and optical properties of InN films deposited on Si(1 1 1) and GaN-on-sapphire templates by reactive radio-frequency (RF) sputtering. The deposition parameters under study are nitrogen content in the sputtering gas, substrate–target distance, substrate temperature and RF power. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the (0 0 0 1) preferred growth orientation and the wurtzite crystallographic structure of the material. For optimized deposition conditions, InN on Si(1 1 1) substrates presents smooth surface with root-mean-square roughness ∼1 nm. Surface quality of the InN films can be further improved by deposition on GaN-on-sapphire templates, achieving root-mean-square roughness as low as ∼0.4 nm, comparable to that of the underlying substrate. The room-temperature absorption edge is located at 1.70 eV. Intense low-temperature photoluminescence peaking at 1.60 eV is observed.  相似文献

(Ga, Gd, As) film growth on GaAs substrate by low-energy ion-beam deposit   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
(Ga, Gd, As) film was fabricated by the mass-analyzed dual ion-beam epitaxy system with the energy of 1000 eV at room temperature. There was no new peak found except GaAs substrate peaks (0 0 2) and (0 0 4) by X-ray diffraction. Rocking curves were measured for symmetric (0 0 4) reflections to further yield the lattice mismatch information by employing double-crystal X-ray diffraction. The element distributions vary so much due to the ion dose difference from AES depth profiles. The sample surface morphology indicates oxidizing layer roughness is also relative to the Gd ion dose, which leads to islandlike feature appearing on the high-dose sample. One sample shows ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature.  相似文献

Transparent glass-nanocomposite sample [50Li2B4O7-50(SrO-Bi2O3-Nb2O5)] (mol %) was prepared by a conventional melt-quenching technique. Fluorite (Bi3NbO7) and SrBi2Nb2O9 (SBN) was produced by heat-treating the as-prepared sample at 773 K for 6 h (HT773). The nanocrystallites of fluorite and SBN phases in the Li2B4O7 glass matrix were established by differential thermal analysis (DTA) which is confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) studies. The influence of heat-treating the as-prepared sample on the optical properties (transmission, optical band gap and Urbach energy) has been investigated. Properties such as dielectric constant and dielectric loss as a function of frequency (120 Hz -100 k Hz) and temperature (300-829 K) are reported.  相似文献

The anisotropic film properties of m-plane GaN deposited by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on LiAlO2 substrates are investigated. To study the development of layer properties during epitaxy, the total film thickness is varied between 0.2 and 1.7 μm. A surface roughening is observed caused by the increased size of hillock-like features. Additionally, small steps which are perfectly aligned in (1 1 −2 0) planes appear for samples with a thickness of ∼0.5 μm and above. Simultaneously, the X-ray rocking curve (XRC) full width at half maximum (FWHM) values become strongly dependent on incident X-ray beam direction beyond this critical thickness. Anisotropic in-plane compressive strain is initially present and gradually relaxes mainly in the [1 1 −2 0] direction when growing thicker films. Low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra are dominated by the GaN near-band-edge peak and show only weak signal related to basal plane stacking faults (BSF). The measured background electron concentration is reduced from ∼1020 to ∼1019 cm−3 for film thicknesses of 0.2 μm and ∼1 μm while the electron mobilities rise from ∼20 to ∼130 cm2/V s. The mobilities are significantly higher in [0 0 0 1] direction which we explain by the presence of extended planar defects in the prismatic plane. Such defects are assumed to be also the cause for the observed surface steps and anisotropic XRC broadening.  相似文献

An original light-assisted approach for optical-material deposition is introduced, and preliminary results concerning the properties of the deposits, in the case of As–S binary glass alloys, are reported for the first time. Such approach uses a continuous-wave laser source and on-axis geometry, to grow a semiconducting glass alloy onto a transparent substrate under the concurrent actuation of a given light-intensity distribution. Significant differences are observed when the material is prepared by using this technique, in comparison with those reported for similar alloys prepared by both physical- and chemical-vapor based techniques.  相似文献

Highly resistive GaN : Be was obtained by means of synthesis of Ga+Be with atomic nitrogen under high nitrogen pressure. Activation energy of resistivity is about 1.5 eV. This material exhibits features very different from those observed in highly resistive bulk GaN : Mg. Up to 300 K strong yellow band dominates photoluminescence spectrum in resistive GaN : Be crystals. Positron annihilation studies point to the presence of gallium vacancies, VGa. In highly resistive GaN:Mg neither yellow band with considerable intensity, nor detectable concentration of VGa was found. We also discuss the puzzling findings in highly resistive bulk GaN : Be of morphological features typical for highly conducting bulk n-GaN material.  相似文献

The chalcogenide multilayers were prepared as dielectric mirrors having the first order stop bands in the near infrared region 1.55 μm. The 7.5 layer pairs of the alternating amorphous Sb–Se and As–S layers were deposited on glass substrates using a conventional thermal evaporation method. To center the stop bands of the 15-layer dielectric mirrors at 1.55 μm, the layer thicknesses 117 nm for Sb–Se and 169 nm for As–S single layers were calculated from the quarter wave stack condition. The optical reflection and transmission spectra of the prepared mirrors were measured using a UV/VIS/NIR and FT-IR spectroscopy at the ambient and elevated temperatures. The optical reflection of the annealed 15-layer chalcogenide mirror was found higher than 99% in the range of 1440–1600 nm. As the 200 nm thick gold layer was added between the substrate and the chalcogenide mirror, the stop band of the annealed Au/multilayer system broadened to 1360–1740 nm simultaneously with an appearance of the 15% transmission peak at 1.55 μm. A preparation of similar metal/multilayer systems is one of the possible ways how to design the dielectric filters for near infrared region exploiting the good optical quality of the chalcogenide films and their simple deposition.  相似文献

Selective MOVPE growth of GaN microstructure on silicon substrates has been investigated using SiO2 mask having circular or stripe window. In case of (0 0 1)substrate, grooves with (1 1 1) facets at the sides were made by using the etching anisotropy of a KOH solution. On the (1 1 1) facets of patterned silicon substrate (or on the as opened window region of (1 1 1) substrate), growth of wurtzite GaN was performed, of which the c-axis is oriented along the 1 1 1 axis of silicon. The photoluminescence and X-ray diffraction analysis were performed to characterize the single crystal to reveal the effect of the growth conditions of the intermediated layer and the microstructure.  相似文献

We report the structural and electrical properties of InAsSb epilayers grown on GaAs (0 0 1) substrates with mid-alloy composition of 0.5. InSb buffer layer and InAsxSb1−x step-graded (SG) buffer layer have been used to relax lattice mismatch between the epilayer and substrate. A decrease in the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the epilayer is observed with increasing the thickness of the InSb buffer layer. The surface morphology of the epilayer is found to change from 3D island growth to 2D growth and the electron mobility of the sample is increased from 5.2×103 to 1.1×104 cm2/V s by increasing the thickness of the SG layers. These results suggest that high crystalline quality and electron mobility of the InAs0.5Sb0.5 alloy can be achieved by the growth of thick SG InAsSb buffer layer accompanied with a thick InSb buffer layer. We have confirmed the improvement in the structural and electrical properties of the InAs0.5Sb0.5 epilayer by quantitative analysis of the epilayer having a 2.09 μm thick InSb buffer layer and 0.6 μm thickness of each SG layers.  相似文献

GaN thin films have been grown on Si(1 1 1) substrates using an atomic layer deposition (ALD)-grown Al2O3 interlayer. This thin Al2O3 layer reduces strain in the subsequent GaN layer, leading to lower defect densities and improved material quality compared to GaN thin films grown by the same process on bare Si. XRD ω-scans showed a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 549 arcsec for GaN grown on bare Si and a FWHM as low as 378 arcsec for GaN grown on Si using the ALD-grown Al2O3 interlayer. Raman spectroscopy was used to study the strain in these films in more detail, with the shift of the E2(high) mode showing a clear dependence of strain on Al2O3 interlayer thickness. This dependence of strain on Al2O3 thickness was also observed via the redshift of the near bandedge emission in room temperature photoluminescence (RT-PL) spectroscopy. The reduction in strain results in a significant reduction in both crack density and screw dislocation density compared to similar films grown on bare Si. Screw dislocation density of the films grown on Al2O3/Si substrates approaches that of typical GaN layers on sapphire. This work shows great promise for the use of oxide interlayers for growth of GaN-based LEDs on Si.  相似文献

GaN nanorods were grown on Si(1 1 1) substrates by using hydride vapor phase epitaxy, and the crystallographic characteristics associated with their preferred growth directions were investigated by utilizing synchrotron X-ray reciprocal space mapping in a grazing incidence geometry and scanning electron microscopy. Crystallographic analysis reveals that the nanorods containing both wurtzite and zinc blende phase tend to have narrower distribution of the preferred growth directions than those containing only wurtzite phase. This tendency is partly attributed to the subtle interplay between polytypism and the preferred growth directions of GaN nanorods.  相似文献

Using an AlInN intermediate layer, GaN was grown on (1 1 1)Si substrate by selective metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The variation of the surface morphology was investigated as a function of the In composition and thickness of the AlInN layer. It was found that the In composition in the AlInN layer was a function of the growth temperature and thickness. Because of the small band offset at the AlInN/Si hetero-interface, we have achieved a low series resistance of the order of 9 Ω (0.0036 Ω cm2) across the GaN/AlInN/AlN/Si layer structure.  相似文献

We report on the shape transition from InAs quantum dashes to quantum dots (QDs) on lattice-matched GaInAsP on InP(3 1 1)A substrates. InAs quantum dashes develop during chemical-beam epitaxy of 3.2 monolayers InAs, which transform into round InAs QDs by introducing a growth interruption without arsenic flux after InAs deposition. The shape transition is solely attributed to surface properties, i.e., increase of the surface energy and symmetry under arsenic deficient conditions. The round QD shape is maintained during subsequent GaInAsP overgrowth because the reversed shape transition from dot to dash is kinetically hindered by the decreased ad-atom diffusion under arsenic flux.  相似文献

A comparative study of epitaxy of AlN, GaN and their alloys, grown on c-axis and off-axis substrates of single-crystal aluminum nitride has been carried out. Growth on off-axis (>30°) substrates appears to result in rough surfaces and the absence of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). However, smooth morphologies were demonstrated for both homoepitaxial and heteroepitaxial growth on on-axis (<2°) substrates. On one of these oriented substrates a 2DEG, with a mobility of 1000 cm2/V s and a sheet density of 8.5×1012 cm−2 at room temperature, was also demonstrated for the first time.  相似文献
