Growth of High-Quality In(0.4)Ga(0.6)N Film on Si Substrate by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition

Abstract

High-quality In(0.4)Ga(0.6)N film grown on GaN/AlN/Si(111) templates was obtained by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with negligible phase separation. A template of high-quality GaN grown on a Si(111) substrate using AlN buffer layers was used for subsequent In(0.4)Ga(0.6)N growth. The GaN layer was 0.6 mu m thick with rocking-curve full width at half maximum (FWHM) for a GaN(002) peak better than 430 arcsec. The In(0.4)Ga(0.6)N film grown was 0.3 mu m thick with a dislocation density of 6 x 10(7) cm(-2) and X-ray (omega-2 theta) FWHM better than 130 arcsec. (C) 2011 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
