摘要
We report on the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition of the quaternary alloy AlInGaN. We found it desirable to grow quaternary films at temperatures greater than 855 degrees C in order to suppress deep level emissions in the room-temperature photoluminescence. Details of the conditions necessary to grow In0.1Ga0.9N at 875 degrees C are presented. Strained and relaxed AlInGaN films were grown with good optical and structural properties for AlN compositions up to 26% and InN content up to 11%. The effects of strain were observed by a difference in the band gap between thin and thick films with the same compositions. The potential impact of the use of quaternary films is discussed regarding strain engineering for the improvement of present device designs. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
