High-quality InN films on GaN using graded InGaN buffers by MBE
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth of high-quality thick InN films is challenging because of the lack of native substrates. In this work, we demonstrate the use of a linearly graded InGaN buffer layer for the growth of InN films on GaN substrates. A 500nm InN film with <0.1 nm RMS roughness is obtained with a peak mobility of 1410 cm2/(V&s) at 300K. A strong room temperature photoluminescence showing a bandgap of 0.65 eV with 79meV linewidth is observed. A graded InGaN buffer is found to lead to extremely smooth and high-quality InN films. © 2016 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

A new approach to epitaxially grow high-quality GaN films on Si substrates: the combination of MBE and PLD
High-quality GaN epitaxial films have been grown on Si substrates with Al buffer layer by the combination of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technologies. MBE is used to grow Al buffer layer at first, and then PLD is deployed to grow GaN epitaxial films on the Al buffer layer. The surface morphology, crystalline quality, and interfacial property of as-grown GaN ep...

A fundamental limitation in achieving ultra-high efficiency solar cells (> 50%) is the availability of materials and corresponding device structures. The InGaN material system offer substantial potential in developing ultra-high efficiency devices, both because of measurements indicating that the band gap on InN is lower than previously though and also due to other unique material properties, s...
متن کاملGRADED InGaN BUFFERS FOR STRAIN RELAXATION IN GaN/InGaN EPILAYERS GROWN ON SAPPHIRE
Graded InGaN buffers were employed to relax the strain arising from the lattice and thermal mismatch in GaN/InGaN epilayers grown on sapphire. An enhanced strain relaxation was observed in GaN grown on a stack of five InGaN layers, each 200 nm thick with the In content increased in each layer, and with an intermediate thin GaN layer, 10 nm thick inserted between the InGaN layers, as compared to...

In this work, we present a method able to fabricate thin GaN nanomembranes fit for device applications. Starting from commercial GaN on sapphire substrates, MBE was used to deposit a sacrificial layer, which comprises of a superlattice of InN/InGaN, after which thin a GaN film of hundreds of nanometers thickness was grown on top. Pulsed laser irridiation with photon energy of 2.3eV gives rise t...

We applied a new Migration Enhanced Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MEMOCVD) epitaxial technique for growing AlN/GaN/InN epitaxial films and heterostructure layers on 2”, 3” and 4” substrates. The growth of the AlN/GaN/InN layers was carried out using controlled precursor pulsed flows to achieve accurate thickness control over large area substrates. This technique bridges the gap betwee...
