Microstructures of InN film on 4H-SiC (0001) substrate grown by RF-MBE

InN film was grown on 4H-SiC (0001) substrate by RF plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (RF-MBE). Prior to the growth of InN film, an InN buffer layer with a thickness of ~ 5.5 nm was grown on the substrate. Surface morphology, microstructure and structural quality of InN film were investigated. Micro-structural defects, such as stacking faults and anti-phase domain in InN film were carefully investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that a high density of line contrasts, parallel to the growth direction (c-axis), was clearly observed in the grown InN film. Dark field TEM images recorded with diffraction vectors g = 1120 and g = 0002 revealed that such line contrasts evolved from a coalescence of the adjacent misoriented islands during the initial stage of the InN nucleation on the substrate surface. This InN nucleation also led to a generation of anti-phase domains.     

The growth of heavily Mg-doped GaN thin film on Si substrate by molecular beam epitaxy

This paper reports the growth of p-GaN by molecular beam epitaxy. During growth, reflection high electron energy diffraction displayed streaky pattern. Hall Effect measurement indicated a hole concentration of 3.90 × 10²⁰ cm^− 3. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that p-GaN has high structural quality. Photoluminescence spectrum showed that band edge emission was found at 354.1 nm, significantly shifted from usual reported value, i.e. 364 nm. The shift was attributed to Burstein-Moss effect. In addition, a broad emission peak at 387.5 nm was also observed which was due to the transition from conduction band edge to Mg acceptor level. Moreover, the presence of 657 cm^− 1 Raman peak also confirmed the heavy Mg-doped characteristic in p-GaN.     

Ⅴ/Ⅲ比和生长温度对RF-MBE InN表面形貌的影响

由于生长InN所需平衡氮气压较高,而且InN分解温度比较低,因此在生长InN时In原子很容易在表面聚集形成In滴,使InN外延膜的表面形貌变差,影响InN外延膜质量的提高.通过研究Ⅴ/Ⅲ比和生长温度对RFMBE生长InN外延膜表面形貌的影响,发现Ⅴ/Ⅲ比和生长温度对InN外延膜表面In滴的量有重要影响.通过选择合适的Ⅴ/Ⅲ比和生长温度,得到了表面平整光亮、无In滴的InN外延膜.

Characterizations of InxAlyGa1−x−yN alloy systems grown on GaN substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy

In_0.05Al_0.10Ga_0.85N epilayers and Al_0.10Ga_0.90N epilayers have been grown on bulk GaN single crystals and GaN templates by radio-frequency (RF) molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). Photoluminescence (PL) spectra at different temperatures ranged from 8 to 300 K were measured for these epilayers. The decreasing rates of PL peak intensity of the In_0.05Al_0.10Ga_0.85N epilayers were smaller than those of the Al_0.10Ga_0.90N epilayers. The fluctuations of emission intensities were not observed in the In_0.05Al_0.10Ga_0.85N epilayers by cathodoluminescence observations at 77 K. Our results indicate that In-related effects exist in InAlGaN quaternary alloys on substrates with low-dislocation densities, however, expect that the localization effect related to In-segregation is weak.
