Abstract

The effects of high temperature (HT) Al-preseeding process and HT AlN buffer layer on the properties of GaN grown on Si(111) substrates has been investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) measurement were used to determine the structural and optical properties on the subsequent GaN epilayer. A nearly 2.5 μm, crack-free GaN epilayer was obtained with a 120-nm-thick AlN buffer layer grown at a TMAl source flow rate of 18 μmol/min and an Al-preseeding time of 5 sec. The near-band edge emission peak with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) value of 44.93 meV at room temperature (RT) and a (002) X-ray rocking curve with a 385 arcsec linewidth attests to the high quality of GaN on the Si(111) substrate.
