摘要：

Thin AlGaN interlayers have been grown into a thick GaN stack on Si substrates to compensate tensile thermal stress and significantly improve the structural perfection of the GaN. In particular, thicker interlayers reduce the density in a-type dislocations as concluded from x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Beyond an interlayer thickness of 28 nm plastic substrate deformation occurs. For a thick GaN stack, the first two interlayers serve as strain engineering layers to obtain a crack-free GaN structure, while a third strongly reduces the XRD x-(0002)-FWHM. The vertical strain and quality profile determined by several XRD methods demonstrates the individual impact of each interlayer. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
