Popis: The effects of Al metal pre-deposition under different conditions on GaN grown on Si(111) substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) have been investigated. Al pre-deposition improves surface morphology and crystal quality of GaN grown on Si. The surface morphology of Al pre-deposition layer, AlN, and GaN vary depending on Al pre-deposition temperature. With the increase of Al pre-deposition temperature, Al cluster size is observed to increase in the Al predeposition layer due to increased lateral mobility of Al atoms. The Al pre-deposition carried out at about 750 °C enables to grow pit-free GaN layer on Si(111) substrate.
