摘要
Surface undulation was formed while growing InGaN/GaN multi-quantum wells on a semi-polar m-plane (1-100) sapphire substrate. Two distinct facets, parallel to (11 (2) over bar2) and (01 (1) over bar 11), were formed in the embedded multi-quantum wells (MQWs). The structural and luminescence characteristics of the two facets were investigated using transmission electron microscopy equipped with cathodoluminescence. Those well-defined quantum wells, parallel and slanted to the growth plane, showed distinct differences in indium incorporation from both the X-ray yield and the contrast difference in annular darkfield images. Quantitative measurements of concentration in (01 (1) over bar1) MQWs show an approximately 4 at% higher indium incorporation compared to the corresponding (11 (2) over bar2) when the MQWs were formed under the same growth condition.
