The Role of Ga(Gallium)-flux and AlN(Aluminum Nitride) as the Interface Materials, between (Ga-face)GaN and (Siface)4H-SiC, through Molecular Dynamics Simulation

چکیده
We report here, the results of molecular dynamics simulation of p-doped (Ga-face)GaN over n-doped (Siface)(0001)4H-SiC hetero-epitaxial material system with one-layer each of Ga-flux and (Al-face)AlN, as the interface materials, in the form of, the total Density of States (DOS). It is found that the total DOS at the Fermi-level for the heavily p-doped (Ga-face)GaN and ndoped (Si-face)4H-SiC hetero-epitaxial system, with one layer of (Al-face)AlN as the interface material, is comparatively higher than that of the various cases studied, indicating that there could be good vertical conduction across the (Ga-face)GaN over (Si-face)(0001)4HSiC hetero-epitaxial material system. Keywords—Molecular dynamics, GaN, 4H-SiC, hetero-epitaxy.

Surfactant effects of gallium on quality of AlN epilayers grown via metal-organic chemical-vapour deposition on SiC substrates
Effects of gallium as a surfactant for the growth of AlN epilayers on SiC substrates by metal-organic chemical-vapour deposition have been studied. It was found that the use of gallium as a surfactant enables the growth of thick, crack-free AlN epilayers on SiC substrates. The photoluminescence and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis show that gallium surfactant can reduce some of the tensile stra...

Investigation on Surface Polarization of Al2O3-capped GaN/AlGaN/GaN Heterostructure by Angle-Resolved X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
The surface polarization of Ga-face gallium nitride (GaN) (2 nm)/AlGaN (22 nm)/GaN channel (150 nm)/buffer/Si with Al2O3 capping layer is investigated by angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS). It is found that the energy band varies from upward bending to downward bending in the interface region, which is believed to be corresponding to the polarization variation. An interfaci...
