Characterizations of GaN Films Grown on Si (111) Substrates with Various Growth Temperatures of Multiple AlN Buffer Layers

摘要

We present the effect of multiple AN buffer layers on characterizations of GaN film quality, which includes a thin high-low-high-temperature (HLHT) AlN buffer layers. The study is based on two different thicknesses of the GaN films on the buffers and found that the HLHT AlN buffer layers could significantly affect on the GaN films qualities. The buffer plays a very important role for the growth of GaN film on Si (111) substrate. The GaN film with an uniformly faceted surface and very high-quality has been obtained at the optimized multiple HLHT AlN buffer layers of 50-nm-thick at 1010-800-1010~0C.
