Structural and optical properties of In0.2Ga0.8N/GaN heterostructures grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy have been investigated as a function of rf plasma power. Indium incorporation resulted in the higher rf power level suppressing 3D island growth with reduced introduction of defects in In0.2Ga0 8N in comparison with GaN. Sharp morphology at interfaces and strong transitions in photoluminescence reveal the optimum rf power around 400 W in our experimental set up for the growth of In0.2Ga0.8N/GaN heterostructures. Our experimental observations suggest that the presence of indium on surface modulates the rate of plasma stimulated desorption and diffusion, and reduces the formation of damaged subsurface.

In this paper, the growth and characterization of epitaxial Al 0.29 Ga 0.71 N grown on Si (111) by RF-plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) are described. The Al mole fraction was derived from the HR-XRD symmetric rocking curve (RC) ω/2θ scans of (0002) plane as x = 0.29. PL spectrum of sample has shown sharp and intense band edge emission of GaN without the existence of yellow emission band, showing that it is comparable in crystal quality of the sample when compared with previous reports. From the Raman measurement of as-grown Al 0.29 Ga 0.71 N layer on GaN / AlN / Si sample. We found that the dominant E 2 (high) phonon mode of GaN appears at 572.7 cm-1. The E 2 (high) mode of AlN appears at 656.7 cm-1 and deviates from the standard value of 655 cm-1 for unstrained AlN . Finally, AlGaN Schottky photodiode have been fabricated and analyzed by mean of electrical characterization, using current–voltage (I–V) measurement to evaluate the performance of this device.

AbstractWe have investigated microstructural properties of GaAs:N and GaN:As layers using transmission electron microscopy. The samples were grown onto (001)-oriented GaAs substrates by RF-plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy. It has been found that during the GaAs/GaAs:N epitaxial growth the supplied active nitrogen atoms gave rise to nanometer-size GaN crystallites formed in the GaAs matrix. In addition, silicon incorporation showed abnormal behavior at the two interfaces of the thin GaAs:N layer embedded in GaAs. A model is proposed for the formation of GaN crystallites in GaAs during the growth. In the GaN:As growth, the layer exhibited columnar growth, resulting in domains with different crystallographic orientation. With an increase of the film thickness, the zincblende structure changed to the wurtzite phase of GaN. The distribution of arsenic through the layer thickness was found to be inhomogeneous and be much higher near the GaN/GaAs interface compared to the region near the surface.

ABSTRACTWe present here the results of a study on the effect of substrate temperature, Ts, on the electrical and physical characteristics of low temperature (LT) molecular beam epitaxy GaAs layers. Hall measurements have been performed on the asgrown samples and on samples annealed at 610 °C and 850 °C. Si implantation into these layers has also been investigated.
