Abstract:
By transmission electron microscopy are studied two buffer structures based on AlGaN alloys doped with silicon and don't. The structures were grown on (111) orientated Si substrates by metal-organic vapour-phase epitaxy with consistently decreasing Al content. It is found that noticeable threading dislocation density reduction took place in intermediate layers at changing Al concentration from 32 to 23%. A phase decay and a composition modulation in growth direction in AlGaN layers with Al content 32, 23, 12 and 4% are observed. A model of the layers structure in the composition modulation area is proposed.
Keywords:
threading dislocations, transmission electron microscopy, metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxy, compositional modulation.
