AbstractNonpolara-plane GaN films were grown on r-plane sapphire substrates by atmospheric metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. The as-grown layers were studied by high-resolution x-ray diffraction. Thea-plane GaN lattice mosaic is orientation dependent as determined by x-ray rocking curve (XRC) measurements. The tilt mosaic measured with the c-axis within the scattering plane (c-mosaic) was greater than the mosaic measured with the m-axis within the scattering plane (m-mosaic). The mosaic along both azimuths decreased and thec-mosaic/m-mosaic ratio was increased with increase of growth temperature from 1050 °C to 1080 °C. The morphological transition was correlated to change in thea-plane GaN tilt mosaic measured by XRC.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution x-ray diffraction and x-ray topography study of GaN thin films, grown on sapphire (00.1) substrate by reduced pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy under various conditions, were performed. An attempt was made to correlate the mobility in films with similar carrier concentration with the strain and dislocation density. X-ray topography revealed the defects present in the film.

In this work, we discuss the growth of dilute InAsBi nanostructures grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on GaAs substrates. The surface morphology of InAsBi nanostructures is carefully investigated, as a function of the growth temperature, by scanning electronic microscopy and atomic force microscopy. (004) High-resolution X-ray diffraction configuration has been used to characterize the crystalline quality and Bi incorporation in the InAsBi films. Low temperature and low Bi flow favor the formation of elongated nanostructures during growth. We give a quantitative description of the elemental processes for the formation of these nanostructures. Our description is based on the Tersoff and Tromp theoretical model.

The growth temperature dependence of the InN film’s crystalline quality is reported. InN films are grown on sapphire substrates from 570 to 650 °C with low-temperature GaN buffers by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The X-ray rocking curves and reciprocal space mappings of the symmetric reflection (0 0 0 2) and asymmetric reflection (1 0 1 2) are measured with high resolution X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that the crystallinity is sensitive to the growth temperature for MOVPE InN. At growth temperature 580 °C, highly crystalline InN film has been obtained, for which the full-width-at-half-maxima of (0 0 0 2) and (1 0 1 2) rocking curves are 24 and 28 arcmin, respectively. The crystalline quality deteriorates drastically when the growth temperature exceeds 600 °C. Combined with the carrier concentration and mobility, the approach to improve the quality of InN film by MOVPE is discussed.

AbstractWe report a structural analysis of GaN layers with thicknesses ranging from 10 μm to 250 μm which have been grown on sapphire substrates by halide vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). The effect of growth rate during HVPE growth has also been examined. The growth was performed using GaCl and ammonia as reactants; growth rates in excess of 90 μm/hr have been achieved. The structural characteristics of these layers have been performed wit'i high resolution x-ray diffractometry. Longitudinal scans parallel to the GaN [0002] direction, transverse scans perpendicular to the [0002], and reciprocal space maps of the total diffracted intensity have been obtained from a variety of GaN layers. The transverse scans typically show broad rocking curves with peak breadths of several hundreds of arcseconds. In contrast, the longitudinal scans (or “θ/2θ scans”) which are sensitive only to strains in the GaN layers (and not their mosaic distributions) showed peak widths that were at least an order of magnitude smaller and in some cases were as narrow as 16 arcseconds. These results suggest that the defect structure of the GaN layers grown by HVPE is dominated by a dislocation-induced mosaic distribution, with the effects of strain in these materials being negligible in comparison.
