Initial growth stage of AlGaN grown directly on (0001) 6H-SiC by MOVPE

Book ·
OSTI ID:580966

The authors investigated the growth process of AlGaN films grown directly on 6H-SiC (0001) substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). They focused on the initial growth stage to clarify the mechanism of nitride growth on SiC. From Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis they found that an Al-rich region generated naturally at the AlGaN/SiC interface. They also found that Al flux determined the density of grain which generated during the initial growth stage, and this grain density reflected the surface morphology.
