摘要
Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is recognized as the method of choice for the large-scale production of nitride based optoelectonic and electronic devices. (Al. Ga. In)N alloys with In and Al compositions below 40% have been intensively investigated for applications in light emitting and electronic devices, However. due to the difficulties in epitaxial growth, less attention was directed to the fabrication of materials with higher Al and In mole fractions. In this article. critical issues in the growth of (Al, Ga, In)N by MOCVD are discussed in relation to the diverse chemical properties of the group-III nitrides and their impact on the growth process.
