Characterization of (Al,Ga,In)N grown using lateral epitaxial overgrowth. Annual report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:676094
The authors describe the effect of various growth parameters such as V/III ratio and temperature on the lateral epitaxial overgrowth of GaN by MOCVD. They also discuss the effect of the mask pattern geometry used as the `seed` template. Structural characterization (AFM, TEM) show that for suitable growth conditions the LEO GaN contains almost no threading dislocations (approximately 100,000/sq cm). Based on these results they developed a 40 micrometers period LEO GaN template (containing essentially dislocation-free regions approximately 15 micrometers wide) that is suitable for the subsequent growth of device layer structures and device fabrication. Preliminary results showing the improved properties of AlGaN/GaN and InGaN/GaN heterostructures grown on these templates are then discussed.
