Elimination of spiral hillocks in AlGaN grown on high-temperature annealed AlN templates by adopting an AlN/AlGaN stress modulation multilayer

The formation of spiral hillocks during AlGaN growth is investigated by modulating the residual strain in the underlying AlN templates. It is demonstrated that the high-density hillocks are directly related to the compressive stress, in particular for AlGaN on high-temperature annealed (HTA) AlN. Al...

description The formation of spiral hillocks during AlGaN growth is investigated by modulating the residual strain in the underlying AlN templates. It is demonstrated that the high-density hillocks are directly related to the compressive stress, in particular for AlGaN on high-temperature annealed (HTA) AlN. AlN/AlGaN stress modulation multilayer is then introduced and optimized before AlGaN growth, which is revealed to be helpful to release the compressive stress in AlGaN as well as to suppress the hillocks. Eventually, the hillocks in AlGaN/HTA-AlN are eliminated, leading to a great improvement of yield for deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diode (DUV-LED) wafers. This work will definitely promote further industrial development and application of DUV-LEDs.
