ABSTRACTGaN layers on sapphire substrates were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using in situ porous SiNx nano-network. Crystalline quality of epilayers was characterized by X-ray rocking curve scans, and the full width at hall maximum values for (002) and (102) diffractions were improved from 252 arc sec and 405 arc sec, respectively, in control samples to 216 arc sec and 196 arc sec when SiNx was used. Ni/Au Schottky diodes (SDs) were fabricated and the SD performance was found to be critically dependent on the SiNx coverage (fewer and farther the pores the better the results) which is consistent with the trends of XRD and photoluminescence data. A 1.13eV barrier height was achieved when 5min SiNx layer was used compared with 0.78 eV without any SiNx nanonetwork. Furthermore, the breakdown voltage improved from 76 V to 250V when SiNx nanonetwork was used in otherwise identical structures.

Primary Mechanism

ABSTRACTX-ray rocking curves are frequently used to assess the structural quality of GaN thin films. In order to understand the information given by the line shape, we need to know the primary mechanism by which the curves are broadened. The GaN films used in this study were grown by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on (00•1) sapphire substrates. GaN films with both broad and very narrow (open detector linewidth of 40 arcseconds for the (00•2) GaN reflection) rocking curves are examined in this work. Reciprocal space maps of both symmetric and asymmetric reciprocal lattice points are used to determine that the cause of the broadening of GaN rocking curves is a limited in-plane coherence length.

ABSTRACTGaN thin films have been deposited on Si and sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using diethylgalliumazide and ammonia. Films were grown in the temperature range of 500-750°C. Growth rates were monitored in situ using laser interferometry. The addition of ammonia enhanced the growth rate significantly. At high temperatures, gas-phase depletion of the precursor reduced the growth rate of GaN. Films grown on (0001)-oriented sapphire substrates at temperatures above 650°C were highly textured with smooth surface morphology. Optical and electrical properties of the films are discussed and compared to those of films grown using conventional Ga and N sources.

Ultraviolet Photodetectors

AbstractHigh quality zinc oxide (ZnO) films were epitaxially grown on R-plane sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition at temperatures in the range 350-600°C. In-situ nitrogen compensation doping was performed using NH3. The metalsemiconductor-metal ultraviolet-sensitive photodetectors were fabricated on nitrogencompensation-doped epitaxial ZnO films. The photoresponsivity of these devices exhibits a linear dependence upon bias voltage up to 10 V, with a photoresponsivity of 400 A/W at 5 V. The rise and fall times are 1 and 1.5 μs, respectively.

ABSTRACTThe X-ray precession method has been utilized to study texture and heteroepitaxy for thin films of the Group IIIA nitrides deposited on a variety of amorphous and single-crystal substrates. Films of InN were synthesized by reactive rfmagnetron sputtering [employing an elemental target and N2 as the sputtering gas], while the GaN films were deposited by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition [utilizing (CH 3 ) 3Ga and NH3 as sources]. The quality of (00.1) textured films of InN on fused quartz and slightly off-axis (111) Si are taken as initial examples of the versatility of the X-ray precession method. The powder rings evolving from a lack of azimuthal coherence for InN films grown on quartz are contrasted with the scattering from weakly correlated (pseudo heteroepitaxial) domains for films grown on (111) Si. These latter scattering features are then compared with those from the true heteroepitaxial deposition of InN onto the (111) face of cubic ZrO2. And, finally, the scattering from the heteroepitaxial growth of InN and GaN on the (00.1) face of sapphire and some initial studies on the effect of nucleation layers on twinning in the GaN films are presented.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the Ca dopant site within the GaN lattice using ion channeling in combination with Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), particle induced x ray emission (PIXE) and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA). Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) grown GaN on c-plane sapphire substrates implanted with 40Ca at a dose of 1×1015 cm−2 with post-implant annealing were investigated. The channeling results indicate that more than 80% of Ca are near Ga sites even in as-implanted samples, however, they are displaced by ∼ 0.2 Å from the Ga sites and that the Ca goes to the exact Ga sites after annealing at 1100°C. We think that the displaced Ca in the as-implanted samples are electrically compensated due to formation of complex defects with donor like point defects, such as CaGa-VN and/or CaGa-GaN, and that CaGa becomes electrically active when these complex defects are broken and the point defects diffuse away with annealing at 1100°C.
