采用金属有机化合物化学气相沉积(MOCVD)方法制备了不同AlN缓冲层厚度的GaN样品,研究了AlN缓冲层厚度对GaN外延层的应力、表面形貌和晶体质量的影响。研究结果表明:厚度为15 nm的AlN缓冲层不仅可以有效抑制Si扩散,而且还给GaN外延层提供了一个较大的压应力,避免GaN薄膜出现裂纹。在该厚度AlN缓冲层上制备的GaN薄膜表面光亮、无裂纹,受到的张应力为0.3 GPa,(0002)和(1012)面的高分辨X射线衍射摇摆曲线峰值半高宽分别为536 arcsec和594 arcsec,原子力显微镜测试得到表面粗糙度为0.2 nm。 相似文献

We present the growth of GaN epilayer on Si (111)
substrate with a single AlGaN interlayer sandwiched between the GaN
epilayer and AlN buffer layer by using the metalorganic chemical
vapour deposition. The influence of the AlN buffer layer thickness
on structural properties of the GaN epilayer has been investigated
by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, optical
microscopy and high-resolution x-ray diffraction. It is found that
an AlN buffer layer with the appropriate thickness plays an important
role in increasing compressive strain and improving crystal quality
during the growth of AlGaN interlayer, which can introduce a more
compressive strain into the subsequent grown GaN layer, and
reduce the crack density and threading dislocation density in GaN
film. 相似文献

A method to drastically reduce dislocation density in a GaN film grown on an Si(111) substrate is newly developed. In this method, the SixNy interlayer which is deposited on an AlN buffer layer in situ is introduced to grow the GaN film laterally. The crack-free GaN film with thickness over 1.7 micron is grown on an Si(111) substrate successfully. Synthesized GaN epilayer is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), and Raman spectrum. The test results show that the GaN crystal reveals a wurtzite structure with the <0001> crystal orientation and the full width at half maximum of the X-ray diffraction curve in the (0002) plane is as low as 403 arcsec for the GaN film grown on the Si substrate with an SixNy interlayer. In addition, Raman scattering is used to study the stress in the sample. The results indicate that the SixNy interlayer can more effectively accommodate the strain energy. So the dislocation density can be reduced drastically, and the crystal quality of GaN film can be greatly improved by introducing SixNy interlayer. 相似文献

The effect of changing the misfit dislocation propagation direction during GaN layer growth on the AlN/SiC/Si(111) structure surface is detected. The effect is as follows. As the GaN layer growing on AlN/SiC/Si(111) reaches a certain thickness of ~300 nm, misfit dislocations initially along the layer growth axis stop and begin to move in the direction perpendicular to the growth axis. A theoretical model of AlN and GaN nucleation on the (111) SiC/Si face, explaining the effect of changing the misfit dislocation motion direction, is constructed. The effect of changing the nucleation mechanism from the island one for AlN on SiC/Si(111) to the layer one for the GaN layer on AlN/SiC/Si is experimentally detected and theoretically explained. 相似文献

Metal Organic Vapour Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) of AlN and GaN layers at a temperature of 1080 C were performed on porous Si(111) and Si(111) substrates. The thermal stability of porous silicon (PS) is studied versus growth time under AlN and GaN growth conditions. The surface morphology evolution of the annealed PS is revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Porous Si(111) with low porosity (40%) is more thermally stable than porous Si(100) with relatively high porosity (60%).AlN layers with various thicknesses were grown under the same conditions on the two substrates. Morphological properties of AlN were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and compared taking into account the two different surfaces of the substrates. The two growth kinetics of AlN were found to be different due to the initial surface roughness of the PS substrate. The effect of AlN buffer morphology on the qualities of subsequent GaN layers is discussed. Morphological qualities of GaN layers grown on PS are improved compared to those obtained on porous Si(100) but are still less than those grown on Si substrate. 相似文献

Two hexagonal GaN epilayers (samples A and B) with multiple buffer layers and single buffer layer are grown on Si (111) by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE). From the results of Rutherford backscattering (RBS)/channeling and high resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD), we obtain the lattice constant (a and c) of two GaN epilayers (aA = 0.3190 nm, cA = 0.5184 nm and aB = 0.3192 nm, CB = 0.5179 nm), the crystal quality of two GaN epilayers ( ХminA=4.87%, ХminB =7.35% along 〈1-↑213〉 axis) and the tetragonal distortion eT of the two samples along depth (sample A is nearly fully relaxed, sample B is not relaxed enough). Comparing the results with the two samples, it is indicated that sample A with multiple buffer layers have better crystal quality than sample B with a single buffer layer, and it is a good way to grow GaN epilayer on Si (111) substrates using multiple buffer layers to improve crystal quality and to reduce lattice mismatch. 相似文献

Low temperature (LT) AlN interlayers were used to effectively reduce the tension stress and micro-cracks on the surface of the GaN epilayer grown on Si (111) substrate. Optical Microscopy (OM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Surface Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) were employed to characterize these samples grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). In addition, wet etching method was used to evaluate the defect of the GaN epilayer. The results demonstrate that the morphology and crystalline properties of the GaN epilayer strongly depend on the thickness, interlayer number and growth temperature of the LT AlN interlayer. With the optimized LT AlN interlayer structures, high quality GaN epilayers with a low crack density can be obtained. 相似文献

Polycrystalline GaN thin films have been deposited epitaxially on a ZnO-buffered (111)-oriented Si substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. The microstructural and compositional characteristics of the films were studied by analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A SiO(2) amorphous layer about 3.5 nm in thickness between the Si/ZnO interface has been identified by means of spatially resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy. Cross-sectional and plan-view TEM investigations reveal (GaN/ZnO/SiO(2)/Si) layers exhibiting definite a crystallographic relationship: [111](Si)//[111](ZnO)//[0001](GaN) along the epitaxy direction. GaN films are polycrystalline with nanoscale grains ( approximately 100 nm in size) grown along [0001] direction with about 20 degrees between the (1l00) planes of adjacent grains. A three-dimensional growth mode for the buffer layer and the film is proposed to explain the formation of the as-grown polycrystalline GaN films and the functionality of the buffer layer. 相似文献

采用金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)技术在Si(111)衬底上外延GaN薄膜,对高温AlN(HT-AlN)缓冲层在小范围内低生长压力(6.7~16.6 kPa)条件下对GaN薄膜特性的影响进行了研究。研究结果表明GaN外延层的表面形貌、结构和光学性质对HT-AlN缓冲层的生长压力有很强的的依赖关系。增加HT-AlN缓冲层的生长压力,GaN薄膜的光学和形貌特性均有明显改善,当HT-AlN缓冲层的生长压力为13.3 kPa时,得到无裂纹的GaN薄膜,其(002)和(102)面的X射线衍射峰值半高宽分别为735 arcsec和778 arcsec,由拉曼光谱计算得到的张应力为0.437 GPa,原子力显微镜(AFM)观测到表面粗糙度为1.57 nm。 相似文献

This paper reports that the GaN thin films with Ga-polarity and high quality were grown by radio-frequency molecular beam epitaxy on sapphire (0001) substrate with a double A1N buffer layer. The buffer layer consists of a high-temperature (HT) A1N layer and a low-temperature (LT) A1N layer grown at 800℃ and 600℃, respectively. It is demonstrated that the HT-A1N layer can result in the growth of GaN epilayer in Ga-polarity and the LT-A1N layer is helpful for the improvement of the epilayer quality. It is observed that the carrier mobility of the GaN epilayer increases from 458 to 858cm^2/V.s at room temperature when the thickness of LT-A1N layer varies from 0 to 20nm. The full width at half maximum of x-ray rocking curves also demonstrates a substantial improvement in the quality of GaN epilavers by the utilization of LT-A1N layer. 相似文献

Double crystal rocking curve (DCRC), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) measurements on GaN epilayers grown with various thicknesses (3.4, 8.5, 17, 34, and 51 nm) of the AlN buffer layer were carried out to investigate the surface, the structural, and the optical properties of the GaN epilayers. The results of the DCRC, AFM, SEM, and PL measurements showed that the GaN epilayer grown on a 3.4 nm AlN buffer layer had the best quality. These results indicate that GaN active layers grown on 3.4 nm AlN buffer layers hold promise for potential applications in optoelectronic devices. 相似文献

ZnO properties were investigated as a function of AlN buffer layer thickness (0–100 nm) in ZnO/AlN/Si(1 1 1) structures grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. A significant improvement of ZnO film crystallinity by tuning AlN buffer thickness was confirmed by x-ray diffraction, topography and photoluminescence measurements. An optimal AlN buffer layer thickness of 50 nm is defined, which allows for growth of nearly strain-free ZnO films. The presence of free excitons at 10 K suggests high crystal quality for all ZnO samples grown on AlN/Si(1 1 1) templates. The intensities of neutral and ionized donor bound exciton lines are found to correlate with the in-plane and out-of-plane strain in the films, respectively. 相似文献

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

High temperature GaN layers have been grown on Si (1 1 1) substrate by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). AlN was used as a buffer layer and studied as a function of thickness and growth temperature. The growth was monitored by in situ laser reflectometry. High resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) revealed that optimized monocrystalline GaN was obtained for a 40 nm AlN grown at 1080 °C. This is in good agreement with the results of morphological study by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and also confirmed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) observations. The best morphology of AlN with columnar structure and lower rms surface roughness is greatly advantageous to the coalescence of the GaN epilayer. Symmetric and asymmetric GaN reflections were combined for twist and stress measurements in monocrystalline GaN. It was found that mosaicity and biaxial tensile stress are still high in 1.7 μm GaN. Curvature radius measurement was also done and correlated to the cracks observations over the GaN surface. 相似文献

<正>In this paper we report that the GaN thin film is grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition on a sapphire (0001) substrate with double AlN buffer layers.The buffer layer consists of a low-temperature(LT) AlN layer and a high-temperature(HT) AlN layer that are grown at 600℃and 1000℃,respectively.It is observed that the thickness of the LT-AlN layer drastically influences the quality of GaN thin film,and that the optimized 4.25-min-LT-AlN layer minimizes the dislocation density of GaN thin film.The reason for the improved properties is discussed in this paper. 相似文献
