Structural analysis of GaN and GaN/InGaN/GaN DH structures on sapphire (0001) substrate grown by MOCVD
- Univ. of Tokushima (Japan). Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
The authors have investigated lattice structures of GaN and InGaN/GaN single-heterostructures (SH) and double-heterostructures (DH) by the reciprocal space mapping using X-ray diffraction technique from (0002) plane. For a single GaN layer, the transition of the film structure from grains with relatively independent orientation at about 0.3 {micro}m followed by the coalescence at about 1 {micro}m, to a uniform film with mosaic structure at 1.4 {micro}m was clearly observed. For DH structure, {omega}-mode FWHMs both from InGaN (In composition approximately 7%) and capping-GaN layers increased with increasing film thickness from 20 nm to 110 nm indicating the increased mosaic structure in the thick InGaN. They also observed the dislocation related to this increasing mosaic structure.
