In this study a quantum well/quantum wire (QW/QWR) structure grown on a grating of V-grooves has been characterized by a technique related to chemical lattice imaging. This technique makes it possible to extract quantitative information from high resolution images.The QW/QWR structure was grown on a GaAs substrate patterned with a grating of V-grooves. The growth rate was approximately three monolayers per second without growth interruption at the interfaces. On this substrate a barrier of nominally Al0.35 Ga0.65 As was deposited to a thickness of approximately 300 nm using metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy . On top of the Al0.35Ga0.65As barrier a 3.5 nm GaAs quantum well was deposited and to conclude the structure an additional approximate 300 nm Al0.35Ga0.65 As was deposited. The GaAs QW deposited in this manner turns out to be significantly thicker at the bottom of the grooves giving a QWR running along the grooves. During the growth of the barriers an approximately 30 nm wide Ga-rich region is formed at the bottom of the grooves giving a Ga-rich stripe extending from the bottom of each groove to the surface.

ABSTRACTThe application of double crystal X-ray diffractometry and computer simulation to the characterization of lattice parameter variations through the thickness of heteroepitaxial layers is reviewed. The sensitivity is demonstrated in studies of graded layers grown by vapour phase epitaxy. Capping layers significantly affect rocking curves from superlattice structures. The use of glancing angle diffraction to characterize thin, low period multilayers is examined.

ABSTRACTThe strain in Al0.80Ga0.20N/GaN distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) grown by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on Si(111) was studied using high resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD). Previous studies have shown that a 50nm Al0.80Ga0.20N layer induced a compressive strain in Al0.12Ga0.88N capping layers and prevented crack formation. A seven period Al0.80Ga0.20N/GaN DBR was grown, but this was found to be cracked at room temperature, despite compression in the GaN layers. This problem was solved by growing an identical structure with the addition of a 650nm GaN cap, and due to the compression in this layer, the structure was crack-free.

The influence of surface preparation of 4H-SiC substrates on structural properties of GaN grown by low pressure metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy was studied. Substrate etching has an impact on the crystallographic structure of epilayers and improves its crystal quality. The GaN layers were characterized by RBS/channelling and HRXRD measurements. It was observed that on-axis 4H-SiC is most suitable for GaN epitaxy and that substrate etching improves the crystal quality of epilayer.
