Popis: (GaN/GaAlN/GaN)//Al2O3(00.1) HEMT heterostructures have been studied by X-ray scattering techniques, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. X-ray reflectometry has been used to determine with a high accuracy both the individual layer thicknesses and the interfacial roughness, in spite of the weak electronic density contrast between layers. From the Fourier inversion method and using a simulation software,theroughnessoftheinterfacecorrespondingtothetwo-dimensionalelectron gaslocationhasbeendeterminedequalto0.5 nm.Bothhigh resolution X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy experiments have shown the excellent crystallinity of the heterostructures. Finally, the surface morphology has been inferred using atomic force microscopy experiments. # 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
