Double-Pulsed Growth of InN by RF-MBE

The initial steps of three different methods for growth of InN were investigated. For this purpose, layers of approximately 15 nm thickness were grown by applying continuous, pulsed or double-pulsed source fluxes. The surface morphologies were investigated by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The structural properties were investigated by reflection high-energy electron diffraction and high-resolution x-ray diffraction. For the continuous and pulsed growth methods, fine-grained structures with grain sizes of approximately 80 nm and 120 nm are observed. In contrast, the double-pulsed growth method leads to surface morphologies made of atomically flat, nearly 2-μm-sized grains. Furthermore, XRD ω scans of the InN (0002) reflection show that the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) values are smallest for this method. These results were used to develop a new growth method that enables growth of atomically flat InN surfaces without any evidence of metallic In within or on top of the layer.
