AlN films are grown on AlGaN/GaN by PEALD. High-temperature annealing promotes complete nitridation of AlN film, and causes AlN to form a semiconductor-like structure.

AbstractRapid thermal annealing of thermal donors in Si with 10 sec anneal times at temperatures between 600 and 1000 °C has been investigated by infrared absorption at 80 K. Thermal donors A through D, which are identified by excited state absorption, are present in as-grown Czochralski Si; whereas excited states for donors A through F as well as photoionization of thermal donors are observed after extended heating at 450 °C. The temperature required for rapid thermal annealing is lower when only donors A through D are present. Removal of thermal donors A through F by rapid thermal annealing at temperatures > 800°C restores 7 to 8 oxygen atoms to interstitial sites per electricallӯ measured donor removed. This ratio supports oxygen cluster models for thermal donors but does not support previous suggestions that such clusters are embryonic forms of high temperature oxygen precipitates.

In this study, the effect of a high-temperature annealing process on AlN is investigated. The high-temperature annealing process reduces the screw dislocation density of the AlN film to 2.1x107 cm-2. The AlN surface is highly flat. Through HRXRD and Raman spectroscopy, the stress mode changes in the sputtered AlN film before and after high-temperature annealing were studied in depth. Based on the HTA-AlN template, a high-quality, high-Al composition AlGaN epitaxial wafer, with a (0002) plane rocking curve FWHM of 246 arcsec , was prepared at 1080°C The growth mode of AlGaN grown directly on the AlN template at low temperature is summarized.
