Growth of c-axis oriented gallium nitride thin films on an amorphous substrate by the liquid-target pulsed laser deposition technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gallium nitride ~GaN! thin films with a wurtzite structure were grown on fused silica ~FS! substrates by pulsed laser ablation of a liquid gallium target in the presence of ammonia gas. X-ray diffraction measurement shows a single c-axis orientation for the GaN film grown with a thin ~,1000 Å! zinc oxide ~ZnO! film as an alignment layer. There is a great improvement in the surface morphology as well as optical transmission for the GaN film grown on the ZnO buffered FS substrate. The energy band gap obtained from the absorption spectrum is about 3.45 eV. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~96!06619-4#

Cubic aluminum nitride and gallium nitride thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition
Ž . Ž . The growth of cubic aluminum nitride AlN and cubic gallium nitride GaN is studied. The effects of ambient pressure and substrate temperature on the structure of the AlN and GaN films are systematically investigated. It is shown that the films are amorphous when the temperature and the pressure are too low. Cubic AlN is obtained at a temperature of 8008C and a pressure of 0.2 Torr. Cubic...
متن کاملFabrication of InGaN thin-film transistors using pulsed sputtering deposition
We report the first demonstration of operational InGaN-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) on glass substrates. The key to our success was coating the glass substrate with a thin amorphous layer of HfO2, which enabled a highly c-axis-oriented growth of InGaN films using pulsed sputtering deposition. The electrical characteristics of the thin films were controlled easily by varying their In conte...
متن کاملCharacteristics of high quality ZnO thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition
Thin films of ZnO have been deposited on glass and silicon substrates by the pulsed laser deposition technique employing a KrF laser ~l5248 nm!. The influence of the deposition parameters, such as substrate temperature, oxygen pressure, and laser fluence on the properties of the grown films, has been studied. All the films grown over a rather wide range of deposition conditions were found to be...

Boron included aluminium nitride (B-AlN) thin films were synthesized on silicon (Si) substrates through chemical vapour deposition ( CVD ) at 773 K (500 °C). tert-buthylamine (tBuNH2) solution was used as nitrogen source and delivered through gas bubbler. B-AlN thin films were prepared on Si-100 substrates by varying gas mixture ratio of three precursors. The structural properties of the films ...

Transparent, electrically conductive and c-axis oriented ZnO thin films have been grown by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on silicon and Coming glass substrates employing either a KrF excimer laser (3. = 248 nm) or a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser (3. = 532 rim). The crystalline structure, surface morphology, optical and electrical properties of the deposited films were found to de...
