InxGa1-xN epilayers have been grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at different temperatures between 740°C to 830°C. The thickness of InGaN film is 50nm for all samples. The incorporation of indium is found to increase with decreasing grown temperature. The optical properties and film quality of the samples have been investigated by photoluminescence (PL) system and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of PL and XRD decreases with increasing the grown temperature. We also found that the peak emission of PL shifts with changing the grown temperature. The effect of temperature on the film properties was determined. This understanding will lead to better quality control of the optoelectronic devices.

AbstractIn this work, europium implanted InGaN/GaN SL with a fixed well/barrier thickness ratio grown by metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition (MOCVD) on GaN/(0001) sapphire substrate were investigated. The as-grown and Eu ion implanted InGaN/GaN SLs were annealed at different temperatures ranging from 600°C to 950°C in nitrogen ambient. The quality of the SL interfaces in undoped and implanted structures has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) at room temperature. The characteristic satellite peaks of SLs were measured for the (0002) reflection up to the second order in the symmetric Bragg geometry. The XRD simulation spectrum of the as-grown SL agrees well with the experimental results. The simulation results show x=0.06 atomic percent the InGaN well sub-layers, with thicknesses of 2.4 and 3.3 nm for single InGaN well and GaN barrier, respectively. It was observed that annealing of the undoped SL does not significantly affect the interfacial quality of the superstructure, whereas, the Eu ion implanted InGaN/GaN SL undergo partial induced degradation. Annealing the implanted SLs shows a gradual improvement of the multilayer periodicity and a reduction of the induced degradation with increasing the annealing temperature as indicated by the XRD spectra.

AbstractThe oxidation of GaN epilayers in dry oxygen has been studied. The 1-μm-thick GaN epilayers grown on (0001) sapphire substrates by Rapid-Thermal-Processing/Low Pressure Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition were used in this work. The oxidation of GaN in dry oxygen was performed at various temperatures for different time. The oxide was identified as the monoclinic β-Ga2O3 by a θ-2θ scan X-ray diffraction (XRD). The scanning electron microscope observation shows a rough oxide surface and an expansion of the volume. XRD data also showed that the oxidation of GaN began to occur at 800°C. The GaN diffraction peaks disappeared at 1050°C for 4 h or at 1100°C for 1 h, which indicates that the GaN epilayers has been completely oxidized. From these results, it was found that the oxidation of GaN in dry oxygen was not layer-by-layer and limited by the interfacial reaction and diffusion mechanism at different temperatures.

In this work, the Si layer is deposited on the SiC complex substrate which is composed of Si(111) substrate and 3C-SiC film grown on it. These Si and 3C–SiC films grown under different temperatures in a chemical vapor deposition system are analyzed. The crystalline orientation, the crystalline quality and the conduction type of the films are measured by X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering ,Scanning electron microscope, and 1150 °C is found the optimized temperature for the epitaxial growth of SiC film grown on the carbonized layer. Measurement results also show that the epitaxial layer is n-type 3C-SiC which has the same crystalline orientation with the Si (111) substrate. Si film grown on the SiC complex substrate under the temperature of 690 °C has the best crystalline quality. This film is composed of p-type monocrystal Si and has the same crystalline orientation with the substrate.

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.

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.

The γ- Al 2 O 3 films were grown on Si (100) substrates using the sources of TMA ( Al ( CH 3)3) and O 2 by very low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (VLP-CVD). It has been found that the γ- Al 2 O 3 film has a mirror-like surface and the RMS was about 2.5nm. And the orientation relationship was γ- Al 2 O 3(100)/ Si (100). The thickness uniformity of γ- Al 2 O 3 films for 2-inch epi-wafer was less than 5%. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) results show that the crystalline quality of the film was improved after the film was annealed at 1000°C in O 2 atmosphere. The high-frequency C-V and leakage current of Al /γ- Al 2 O 3/ Si capacitor were also measured to verify the annealing effect of the film. The results show that the dielectric constant increased from 4 to 7 and the breakdown voltage for 65-nm-thick γ- Al 2 O 3 film on silicon increases from 17V to 53V.

Control of nanostructure growth is a prerequisite for the development of electronic and optoelectronic devices. This paper reports the growth conditions and structural properties of ZnMgO nanowalls grown on the Si face of 4H-SiC substrates by molecular beam epitaxy without catalysts and buffer layers. Images from scanning electron microscopy revealed that the ZnMgO nanowalls are arranged in parallel rows following the stripe morphology of the SiC surface, and their thickness is around 15 nm. The crystal quality of the structures was evaluated by X-ray diffraction measurements.

A GaN epilayer with tri-layer AlGaN interlayer grown on Si (111) by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method was discussed by synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction (SRXRD) and Rutherford backscattering (RBS)/C. The crystal quality of the epilayer is very good with a χmin=2.1%. According to the results of the θ-2θ scan of GaN(0002) and GaN(1122), the epilayer elastic strains in perpendicular and parallel directions were calculated respectively to be-0.019% and 0.063%. By the angular scan using RBS/C around a symmetric [0001] axis and an asymmetric [1213] axis in the (1010) plane of the GaN layer, the tetragonal distortion (eT ) were determined to be 0.09%. This result coincides with that from SRXRD perfectly. The strain decreases gradually towards the near-surface layer, which will avoid the film cracks efficiently and improve the crystal quality of the GaN epilayer remarkably.

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.
