摘要
Low temperature (LT) flow modulation epitaxy (FME) or "pulsed" growth was successfully used to prevent magnesium from Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) grown p-GaN:Mg layers riding into subsequently deposited n-type layers. Mg concentration in the subsequent layers was lowered from similar to 1 x 10(18) cm(-3) for a medium temperature growth at 950 degrees C to similar to 1 x 10(16) cm(-3) for a low temperature growth at 700 degrees C via FME. The slope of the Mg concentration drop in the 700 degrees C FME sample was 20 nm/dec-the lowest ever demonstrated by MOCVD. For growth on Mg implanted GaN layers, the drop for a medium temperature regrowth at 950 degrees C was similar to 10 nm/dec compared to >120 nm/dec for a high temperature regrowth at 1150 degrees C. This drop-rate obtained at 950 degrees C or lower was maintained even when the growth temperature in the following layers was raised to 1150 degrees C. A controlled silicon doping series using LT FME was also demonstrated with the lowest and highest achieved doping levels being 5 x 10(16) cm(-3) and 6 x 10(19) cm(-3), respectively.
