Thermal Stability of MOCVD and HVPE GaN Layers in H2, HCl, NH3 and N2
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work represents a complete study of GaN annealed in H2, HCl, NH3 and N2. The GaN thermal behavior was evaluated by comparison of MOCVD and HVPE samples. The MOCVD films were found to obey a dissociative sublimation mechanism with only gaseous species forming, while the HVPE films reacted with ambient gases to form condensed Ga in addition to the gaseous species. Differences in crystal quality for MOCVD and HVPE samples resulting from the different growth mechanisms account for the observed difference. This analysis of the thermal stability of GaN is extended to include how polarity affects the thermal behavior of GaN during growth and annealing of MOCVD and HVPE films.

متن کاملInfluence of polarity on GaN thermal stability
A comparative study of the stability of Gaand N-polar GaN films was made in different gas ambients (N2, H2, NH3, HCl). The Ga-polar films were observed to undergo a dissociative sublimation, while the N-polar films formed condensed Ga in addition to the gaseous species. The difference in polarity affects the morphology and bonding on the surface, and thus, stability of the atoms bonded to the s...
متن کاملEffect of growth conditions on electrical properties of Mg-doped p-GaN
In this work the effect of carrier gas and post-growth activation conditions on the electrical properties of Mg-doped p-GaN single layers grown in a vertical flow close-coupled showerhead MOCVD system is investigated. The results of Hall effect measurements show that although the optimal Mg precursor flow rate depends on the growth atmosphere and is smaller when N2 is used as a carrier gas, sim...
متن کاملFabrication of low-density GaN/AlN quantum dots via GaN thermal decomposition in MOCVD
With an appropriate high anneal temperature under H2 atmosphere, GaN quantum dots (QDs) have been fabricated via GaN thermal decomposition in metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Based on the characterization of atomic force microscopy (AFM), the obtained GaN QDs show good size distribution and have a low density of 2.4 × 10(8) cm(-2). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance studies of defects in GaN with reduced dislocation densities
Magnetic resonance experiments, including optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), have been performed on Si-doped homoepitaxial GaN layers grown by MOCVD and on high quality, free-standing (B200mm-thick) GaN grown by HVPE. This allowed us to obtain information on the properties of native defects and dopants in GaN with a significantly reduced dens...
