X-ray diffraction and total external reflection of X-rays (X-ray reflectometry) methods were used to study the successive stages of synthesis of epitaxial SiC films on Si (100) X-ray diffraction and total external X-ray reflection (XRD) methods were used to study successive stages of synthesis of epitaxial SiC films on Si (100) surfaces, (110) and (111) surfaces by the atom substitution method. The data on the transformation evolution of (100) surfaces were studied, (110) and (111) Si, into SiC surfaces. A comparative analysis of the X-ray structural quality of the SiC layers grown on Si by the atom substitution method with the quality of SiC layers grown by Advanced Epi by the standard CVD method. A modified technique for the total outer X-ray reflection method, based on measurements of the intensity of the reflected X-rays using a special parabolic mirror. It is shown that the method of total external reflection method makes it possible to obtain important information about the degree of surface roughness of SiC layers, the evolution of their crystal structure and plasmon energy in the process of Si to SiC conversion.

High-quality aluminum nitride ( AlN ) layers with full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of 11 arcmin were grown by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy on Si (111) substrates. AlN nucleation layers are being investigated for the growth of GaN on Si . Growth using AlN buffer layers leads to Al -polar films, with surfaces strongly dependent on the flux conditions used. Flat surfaces can be obtained by growing as Al -rich as possible, although Al droplets tend to form. Before starting the AlN growth, a few monolayers of Al are deposited on the substrate to avoid the formation of Si 3 N 4. X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were employed to determine the surface and structural quality of the layers. XRD revealed that monocrystalline AlN was obtained. Best AlN films were obtained at high substrate temperatures (875°C) and III/V ratios close to stoichiometry.

Hot-wall chemical vapor deposition has been used to epitaxially grow SiC layers on porous n-type 4H-SiC substrates. The growth was carried out at different speeds on porous layers of two different thicknesses. The quality of the SiC films was evaluated by X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence techniques. Based on the measurements, both the growth speed and the thickness of the porous layer buried underneath the epilayers do not appear to influence the structural integrity of the films. The intensity of the near bandedge low temperature photoluminescence appears stronger by a factor of two in films grown on porous layers.

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.

Abstract Photoluminescence and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used for the studies of the properties of HgCdTe samples with CdTe molar fraction x=0.3 grown by various methods. According to the results of photoluminescence studies, all samples possessed a considerable degree of alloy disorder, yet the scale of the disorder seemed not to be directly related to the structural quality of the material as revealed using XRD. Prospects of using HgCdTe material grown by various methods in optoelectronic devices are discussed.

A 4H-SiC epitaxial growth process has been developed in a horizontal hot-wall CVD reactor using a standard chemistry of silane-propane-hydrogen, producing repeatable growth rates up to 32 μm/h. The growth rate was studied as a function of pressure, silane flow rate, and growth time. The structural quality of the films was determined by X-ray diffraction. A 65 μm thick epitaxial layer was grown at the 32 μm/h rate, resulting in a smooth, specular film morphology with occasional carrot-like and triangular defects. The film proved to be of high structural quality with an X-ray rocking curve FWHM value of the (0004) peak of 11 arcseconds.

ABSTRACTStructural properties of molecular beam epitaxy-grown Bi2Sr2Cu1Oy'Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2Oy multilayers have been studied by x-ray diffraction. A one-dimensional kinematic x-ray diffraction model has been used to describe the structural quality of the multilayers. Interface roughness, stacking defects and unit cell disorder are obtained by an iterative fitting of the calculated diffraction profile to the experimental spectra. The type and amount of disorder in the films was qualitatively determined. Results demonstrate that structural imperfections are present in the multilayers and have to be considered when transport properties are studied.

GaN epitaxial layers were successfully grown by hydride vapour phase epitaxy (HVPE) on β-Ga2O3 substrates produced by cleaving. The initial stages of GaN epitaxial growth on β-Ga2O3 were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The nucleation and the transition from the nucleation layer to a continuous GaN film were studied. It was found that the growth starts with formation of small crystallites on the substrate surface. As the growth continues, crystallites transform into pyramidal islands which increase in size and merge together. It was found that the structural quality of the GaN layers rapidly improves with increasing thickness. The full width at half maximum of x-ray ω rocking curves for (0002) peak decreased from 1370 to 540 arcsec as the deposition time was increased from 30 to 120 sec. This corresponds to the variation of the nominal layer thickness from 250 nm to 1000 nm.
