High quality GaN films have been successfully grown on multi-AlN/sapphire templates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition system. The Hall mobility and the carrier concentration of 720 cm2/Vs and 6.7x1016 cm-3 at 300K, respectively, along with low dislocation density of 4.1x109 cm-2 have been achieved. The X-ray rocking curve full-width at half-maximum were 160 and 290 arcsec for (0004) and (20-24) reflection planes also obtained, respectively. Besides that, the atomic force microscopy images showed smooth surface morphology and a higher intensity near the band edge was also observed by photoluminescence measurement result.

Self-assembled In0.5Ga0.5As quantum dots (QDs) were grown using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on GaAs (100) substrate with different number of stacking QDs layers. Surface study using atomic force microscopy (AFM) shows that surface morphology of the self-assembled QDs change with different number of stacking QDs layers caused by the previous QDs layers and the thickness of the GaAs spacer layers. PL measurement shows variation in the PL spectra as a function of number of stacking layers of In0.5Ga0.5As QDs. The PL peak positions blue-shifted from 1225 nm to 1095 nm and dramatically increase in intensity with increasing number of stacking QDs layers.

High quality GaN films are deposited on freestanding thick diamond films by electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced metal organic chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PEMOCVD). The characteristics of GaN films were investigated by x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The high quality GaN films with small surface roughness of 8.3 nm and high c-orientation are successfully achieved at the optimized nitriding time with the diamond substrate. These properties of GaN films with small surface smoothness and high c-orientation are well used as piezoelectric films for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices.

High-quality GaN films are deposited on diamond films using an electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced metal organic chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PEMOCVD) under the condition of the proper Trimethyl gallium (TMGa) flux. The influence of TMGa flux on the properties of GaN films is systematically investigated by x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results show that the high quality GaN films with small surface roughness and high c-orientation are successfully achieved at the optimized flux. The most significant improvements in morphological and structural properties of GaN films are obtained by using a proper TMGa flux

In this paper we demonstrate a metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process for growth of few layer hBN films on Ni(111) on sapphire substrates using triethylborane (TEB) and ammonia (NH3). Ni(111) was selected as a substrate due to its symmetry and close lattice matching to hBN. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) we find hBN is well aligned to the Ni below with in plane alignment between the hBN zig zag edge and the <110> of Ni. We further investigate the growth process exploring interaction between precursors and the Ni(111) substrate. Under TEB pre-exposure Ni-B and graphitic compounds form which disrupts the formation of layered phase pure hBN; while NH3 pre-exposure results in high quality films. Tunnel transport of films was investigated by conductive-probe AFM demonstrating films to be highly resistive. These findings improve our understanding of the chemistry and mechanisms involved in hBN growth on metal surfaces by MOCVD.

We deposited ZnO films on Corning glass substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). We found the diffraction (002) peak at ~34.46°, indicating that the ZnO thin films were C-oriented. ZnO films were highly transparent with a transmission ratio larger than 85% in the visible range. The surface morphology of the films was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

AbstractWe demonstrate photoluminescence from self- assembling InGaN quantum dots (QDs), which are artificially fabricated on AlGaN surfaces via metal- organic chemical vapor deposition. InGaN QDs are successfully fabricated by the growth mode transition from step- flow to three dimensional island formation by using anti-surfactant silicon on AlGaN surface. The diameter and height of the fabricated InGaN QDs are estimated to be ˜10nm and ˜5nm, respectively, by an atomic- force- microscope (AFM). Indium mole fraction of InxGal−x N QDs is controlled from x=˜0.22 to ˜0.52 by varying the growth temperature of QDs. Intense photoluminescence is observed even at room temperature from InGaN QDs embedded with the GaN capping layers. In addition, the temperature- dependent energy shift of the photoluminescence peak- energy shows a localization behavior.
