MOCVD growth andproperties of GaN and AlGaN layers

In this work GaN and AlGaN layers were grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on sapphire substrates. The research was carried out at Micro and Nanoscience Laboratory of Helsinki University of Technology. The objective of this thesis is the study of MOCVD technique for the growth of GaN and AlGaN films and optimization of growth parameters in purpose to improve crystal quality of the films. The widely used two-step and the new multistep methods have been used for GaN, AlGaN MOCVD growth on c-plane sapphire. Properties of the GaN and AlGaN layers were studied using in-situ reflectance monitoring during MOCVD growth, atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction. Compared to the two step method, the multistep method has produced even better qualities of the GaN and AlGaN layers and significant reduction of threading dislocation density.
