Optical and Electrical Properties of GaN.Mg Grown by MOCVD

Mg-doped GaN layers prepared by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition were annealed at temperatures between 550 and 950℃. Room temperature （RT） Hall and photoluminescence （PL） spectroscopy measurements were performed on the as-grown and annealed samples. After annealing at 850℃, a high hole concentration of 8 × 10~(17) cm~(-3) and a resistivity of 0. 8lΩ·cm are obtained. Two dominant defect-related PL emission bands in GaN.. Mg are investigated; the blue band is centered at 2. 8eV （BL） and the ultraviolet emission band is around 3.27eV （UVL）. The relative intensity of BL to UVL increases after annealing at 550℃, but decreases when theannealing temperature is raised from 650 to 850℃, and finally increases sharply when the annealing temperature is raised to 950C. The hole concentration increases with increased Mg doping, and decreases for higher Mg doping concentrations. These results indicate that the difficulties in achieving high hole concentration of 10~(18)cm~(-3) appear to be related not only to hydrogen passivation, but also to self-compensation.

High power red-light GaInP/AlGaInP laser diodes with nonabsorbing windows based on Zn diffusion-induced quantum well intermixing

The layer structure of GaInP/AlGaInP quantum well laser diodes (LDs) was grown on GaAs substrate using low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD) technique. In order to improve the catastrophic optical damage (COD) level of devices, a nonabsorbing window (NAW), which was based on Zn diffusion-induced quantum well intermixing, was fabricated near the both ends of the cavities. Zn diffusions were respectively carried out at 480, 500, 520, 540, and 580 Celsius degree for 20 minutes. The largest energy blue shift of 189.1 meV was observed in the window regions at 580 Celsius degree. When the blue shift was 24.7 meV at 480 Celsius degree, the COD power for the window LD was 86.7% higher than the conventional LD.

Persistent Photoconductivity in n-type GaN

The persistent photoconductivity（PPC） phenomena in n-type GaN Films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition（MOCVD） have been studied. After using some testing and analysis methods, such as the double crystal X-ray diffraction（DCXRD）, the photolumineseence（PL） spectra, etc, it is found that the issue which influences PPC in n-type GaN is not relative to the dislocations and yellow band （YB）, and is caused by the doping level of Si most likely.

MOCVD-Grown AlGaN/AlN/GaN HEMT Structure with High Mobility GaN Thin Layer as Channel on SiC

AlGaN/AlN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structures with a high-mobility GaN thin layer as a channel are grown on high resistive 6H-SiC substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The HEMT structure exhibits a typical two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) mobility of 1944cm2/(V · s) at room temperature and 11588cm2/(V· s) at 80K with almost equal 2DEG concentrations of about 1.03 × 1013 cm-2 High crystal quality of the HEMT structures is confirmed by triple-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Atomic force microscopy measurements reveal a smooth AlGaN surface with a root-mean-square roughness of 0. 27nm for a scan area of 10μm × 10μm. HEMT devices with 0.8μm gate length and 1.2mm gate width are fabricated using the structures. A maximum drain current density of 957mA/mm and an extrinsic transconductance of 267mS/mm are obtained.

Dislocation Reduction in GaN on Sapphire by Epitaxial Lateral Overgrowth

High quality GaN is grown on GaN substrate with stripe pattern by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition by means of epitaxial lateral overgrowth. AFM,wet chemical etching, and TEM experiments show that with a two-step ELOG procedure, the propagation of defects under the mask is blocked, and the coherently grown GaN above the window also experiences a drastic reduction in defect density. In addition, a grain boundary is formed at the coalescence boundary of neighboring growth fronts. The extremely low density of threading dislocations within wing regions makes ELOG GaN a potential template for the fabrication of nitride-based lasers with improved performance.

Low -temperature preparation of ZnO films on Si substrates by MOCVD

ZnO films were deposited on Si（100） substrates at 300℃ by metal - organic chemical vapor deposition（MOCVD）. The effect of different ratios of DEZn to N2O on crystal quality was analyzed. It is found that the optimum ratio of DEZn to N2O is 2.1. And in this optimum growth condition, X - ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning probe morphology （SPM） images indicate that the films grow along the c - axis orientation. ZnO film exhibits a strong UV optical absorption near 388 nm. And the optical absorbance is close to zero,that indicates nearly 100% optical transparence. Photoluminescence （PL） spectrum shows only strong near - band - edge emissions with little or no deep - level emission related to defects. The full - width at half - maximum （FWHM） of the ultraviolet emission peak is 80meV. The results indicate that better crystal quality can be obtained.

Effects of Thickness on Properties of ZnO Films Grown on Si by MOCVD

High quality ZnO films are successfully grown on Si（100） substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition at 300℃. The effects of the thickness of the ZnO films on crystal structure, surface morphology,and optical properties are investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning probe microscopy,and photoluminescence spectra, respectively. It is shown that the ZnO films grown on Si substrates have a highly-preferential C-axis orientation,but it is difficult to obtain the better structural and optical properties of the ZnO films with the increasing of thickness. It is maybe due to that the grain size and the growth model are changed in the growth process.
