摘要
GaN films grown by rf-MBE on Si(110) substrates using AlN buffer layers are investigated. Single crystalline AlN films are obtained by Al pre-deposition during the buffer layer growth. 2-dimensional epitaxial growth mode of GaN is confirmed by in-situ RHEED observations. HRXRD results show that the FWHM values of diffraction peaks decrease with the increase of the film thickness. Atomically flat GaN surface morphology with mono-layer steps is obtained and crack-free GaN films until 2 mu m are successfully achieved. Micro-Raman measurements show that the tensile strain in the GaN films on Si(110) substrates is reduced compared to those on conventional Si(111) substrates. It is expectable that high-quality III-nitrides can be grown by rf-MBE technique for device applications. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
