摘要
Non-polar A-plane (11-20) high In content (In-rich) InGaN was grown on R-plane (10-12) sapphire with an InN template by radio-frequency plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (RF-MBE). Nitridation of R-plane sapphire was carried out at 300 degrees C for 2 hours by RF-nitrogen plasma. A template of A-plane InN was grown at 400 degrees C. The In-rich InGaN films were then grown at the same temperature on the InN template. We characterized the films using reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photo-luminescence (PL). These results indicated clearly that non-polar In0.71Ga0.29N was successfully obtained with a PL emission at approximately 1.1 eV. (C) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
