摘要
Thin epitaxial AlN-layers were grown on 6H-SiC (0001) substrates in a hot-wall MOCVD. Three different substrate surfaces were used: (1) high quality 6H-SiC homoepitaxial layer, (2) H2-etched, and (3) as-received surfaces. High resolution rocking curve (omega-scan) measurements of the (0002) reflection show low values (FMHW) for AlN grown on (1), 15 arcsec, and for AlN grown on (2), 25 arcsec. For AlN grown on the as-received substrate this value was > 100 arcsec. Plan view transmission electron microscope and atomic force microscope images show larger grains and less surface roughness of the AlN-layer grown on the SiC epitaxial surface compared with the other substrate surfaces.
