| Popis: | The introduction of Si burst during the growth of GaN film on Si(111) substrate by MOCVD formed a Six Ny layer which leads to an effective reduction in the density of screw dislocations. The reduction is associated with bending of screw dislocations to form a square dislocation loop when neighbouring dislocations with opposite Burger's vector paired up. The concentration of electron traps Ec–Et ∼0.17–0.26 eV which is associated with screw dislocations is substantially reduced and a kink is left at the silicon rich position. The mixed-edge dislocation, however, is not annihilated by the Six Ny layer. Addition of TMAl burst for the AlN growth leads to a substantial reduction in trap concentration associated with the nitrogen vacancies, VN, and antisite of nitrogen, NAl, at Ec–Et ∼0.10 eV and Ec–Et ∼ 0.60 eV respectively. This improves the quality of the subsequent layer of HT-GaN grown and is useful for device fabrication. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
