초록 The structural, electrical and optical properties of GaN epilayers grown on various ion-implanted on sapphire(0001) substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) were investigated.
Sapphire is typical substrate for GaN epilayers. However, there are many problems such as lattice mismatch and thermal coefficient difference between sapphire substrate and GaN. The ion-implanted substrate’s surface had decreased internal free energies during the growth of the GaN epilayer, and the misfit strain was relieved through the formation of an AlN phase on the ions implanted sapphire(0001) substrates.[1] The crystal and optical properties of GaN epilayer grown in ions implanted sapphire(0001) substrate were improved. Also, excessively roughened and modified surface by ions degraded the GaN epilyer. Not only the ionic radius but also the chemical species of implanted sapphire(0001) subsrates could improve the properties of GaN epilayers grown by MOCVD.[2]
These facts indicate that AlN phase decreased the elastic strain energies by lattice mismatch with the sapphire(0001) substrares, and surface roughness of the sapphire surface was related to the properties of GaN epilayer. It is obvious that the ion-implantation pre-treatment of sapphire(0001) substrates can be an alternative pre-treatment procedure for GaN deposition and has the potential to improve the properties of GaN epilayer on sapphire (0001) substrates. This result implies that higher quality of GaN epilayer was achieved by ion-implantated sapphire(0001) substrate with various ions.
