High Internal Quantum Efficiency Ultraviolet Emission from Phase-Transition Cubic GaN Integrated on Nanopatterned Si(100)
Abstract
Ultraviolet emission characteristics of cubic (c-) GaN enabled through hexagonal-to-cubic phase transition are reported. Substrate patterning and material growth are shown to affect phase purity and emission characteristics of c-GaN as studied by electron backscatter diffraction, and photo- and cathodoluminescence, respectively. Raman study shows a tensile strain in the c-GaN. Time-resolved photoluminescence reveals c-GaN band edge emission decay time of 11 ps. The ultraviolet emissions from both phases of GaN are linearly polarized in the same direction, which is along the < 11$$ \overline{20}\ $$ > and < 110 > directions of hexagonal GaN and c-GaN, respectively. Temperature-dependent (5.7 to 280 K) cathodoluminescence studies reveal an internal quantum efficiency of ~29% at room temperature along with intrinsic and extrinsic defect energy levels of ~124 and ~344 meV, respectively, of the phase-transition c-GaN. Using the IQE value and carrier decay lifetime, a radiative lifetime of 38 ps is extracted. Altogether, photonic properties of phase-transition c-GaN and their dependence on substrate patterning and material growth are reported.
