AbstractMetalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is a process used to manufacture electronic and optoelectronic devices that has traditionally lacked real-time growth monitoring and control. We have developed control strategies that incorporate monitors as real-time control sensors to improve MOCVD growth. An analog control system with an ultrasonic concentration monitor was used to reject bubbler concentration disturbances which exist under normal operation, during the growth of a four-period GaInAs/InP superlattice. Using X-ray diffraction, it was determined that the normally occurring concentration variations led to a wider GaInAs peak in the uncompensated growths as compared to the compensated growths, indicating that closed loop control improved GaInAs composition regulation. In further analysis of the X-ray diffraction curves, superlattice peaks were used as a measure of high crystalline quality. The compensated curve clearly displayed eight orders of satellite peaks, whereas the uncompensated curve shows little evidence of satellite peaks.

We have synthesized the high-density Ga2O3 nanowires on gold (Au)-coated silicon substrates using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The nanowires exhibited one-dimensional structures having circular cross sections with diameters in the range of 30-200 nm. The energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy revealed that the nanowires contained elements of Ga and O, without Au-related impurities. X-ray diffraction analysis and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed that the Ga2O3 nanowires were crystalline.

ABSTRACTIndium droplet formation during the epitaxial growth of InxGa1-xN films is a serious problem for achieving high quality films with high indium mole fraction. In this paper, we studied the formation of indium droplets on the InxGa1-xN films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using single crystal x-ray diffraction. It is found that the indium (101) peak in the x-ray diffraction spectra can be utilized as a quantitative measure to determine the amounts of indium droplets on the film. It is shown by monitoring the indium diffraction peak that the density of indium droplets increases at lower growth temperature. To suppress these indium droplets, a modulation growth technique is used. Indium droplet formation in the modulation growth is investigated and it is revealed in our study that the indium droplets problem has been partially relieved by the modulation growth technique.

AbstractInGaN films in the 0–50% InN composition range have been analyzed for the occurrence of phase separation. The ñ0.5 jum thick InGaN films were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) in the 690 to 780°C temperature range and analyzed by θ−20 x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area diffraction (SAD). As-grown films with up to 21% InN were single phase. However, for films with 28% InN and higher, the samples showed a spinodally decomposed microstructure as confirmed by TEM and extra spots in SAD patterns that corresponded to multiphase InGaN. An explanation of the data based on the GaN-InN pseudo-binary phase diagram is discussed.

AbstractBi2Sr2CaCu2O8 thin films have been prepared in situ by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using fluorinated β–diketonate precursors. The influence of the growth conditions on the oxide phase stability and impurity phase formation was examined as well as the superconducting properties of the films. Thin films deposited on LaAIO3 substrates were epitaxial as confirmed by x-ray diffraction measurements, including θ-2θ and φ scans. Four probe resistivity measurements showed the films to be superconducting with a maximum Tc0 of 90 K without post annealing. This Tc0 is among the highest reported for thin films of the BSCCO (2212) phase, and approaches reported bulk values.

ABSTRACTA1N films were grown on the (100) plane of 3C-SiC/Si and the (0001) plane of A12O3 substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using trimethylaluminum (TMA) and ammonia (NH3) as the precursors. The deposited films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a Read thin film camera. At 1150°C, preferentially oriented polycrystalline AlN films were obtained on both substrates and the crystal structure was wurtzite. The epitaxial relations were (1010)AlN//(100)SiC//(100)Si and (0001)AlN// (0001)Al2O3. The attempt to grow cubic AlN on 3C-SiC/Si was not successful.
