摘要
Semipolar AlxGa1-xN films (similar to 660 nm thick) are fabricated on (1 (1) over bar 02) (r-plane) AlN substrates. X-ray diffraction measurements suggest that the structural quality is relatively good although lattice relaxation occurs. The experimentally evaluated relaxation degrees are 0.90 and 0.72 along the [1 (1) over bar0 (1) over bar] and [11 (2) over bar0] directions, respectively. These values, which are much larger than those of c-plane AlxGa1-xN for a similar Al composition and thickness, are reproduced by a calculation. Dislocations due to lattice relaxation are confined to the vicinity of the AlxGa1-xN/AlN interface, suggesting a small effect on the optical properties of quantum wells fabricated on r-plane AlxGa1-xN/AlN templates.
