摘要
Hillock-free thick InGaN layers were grown on N-polar GaN on sapphire by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy using a digital growth scheme and H-2 as surfactant. Introducing Mg to act as an additional surfactant and optimizing the H-2 pulse time, In compositions up to 17% were obtained in 100 nm thick epilayers. Although Mg adversely affected the In incorporation, it enabled maintenance of a good surface morphology while decreasing the InGaN growth temperature, resulting in a net increase in In composition. The parameter space of growth temperature and Mg precursor flow to obtain hillock-free epilayers was mapped out.
