Study on the growth of crack-free AlxGa1−xN (0.133⩾x>0.1)/GaN heterostructure with low dislocation density
Journal of Crystal Growth(2001)
摘要
We have investigated the growth of crack-free AlxGa1−xN layer (0.133⩾x>0.1) with low dislocation density using AlxGa1−xN/GaN heterostructure. From the wet-etched surfaces and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, the 2μm underlying AlxGa1−xN layer with low AlN molar fraction is effective in preventing the formation of cracks in AlxGa1−xN surface. Although the number of defects in the underlying AlxGa1−xN layer grown on low-temperature GaN buffer are increased by the increase of AlN molar fraction, the use of the highly strained AlxGa1−xN/GaN/AlxGa1−xN heterostructure on the underlying layer is effective in reducing the number of defects near the surface. The possibility of the growth of crack-free AlxGa1−xN/GaN heterostructure with low dislocation density by controlling the AlN molar fraction and the misfit strain value is presented.
