AlN homoepitaxial growth on sublimation-AlN substrate by low-pressure HVPE

Crack-free thick AlN layers with low impurity concentrations were grown on free-standing AlN substrates fabricated by a sublimation method. Cracks due to tensile stresses were generated in the overgrowth layer when using on-axis AlN (0001) substrates, as indicated by Raman scattering spectroscopy. I...

Zusammenfassung:Crack-free thick AlN layers with low impurity concentrations were grown on free-standing AlN substrates fabricated by a sublimation method. Cracks due to tensile stresses were generated in the overgrowth layer when using on-axis AlN (0001) substrates, as indicated by Raman scattering spectroscopy. In contrast, cracks were not generated when using 5° off-angle AlN (0001) substrates. High crystalline quality was indicated by X-ray rocking curve (XRC) analysis. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of the (0002) and (10–10) diffractions were 277 and 306arcsec, respectively. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) measurements indicated that the Si and C impurity concentrations were reduced to half of those in the sublimation-grown AlN substrates.
