We describe the growth of high quality AlN and GaN on Si(111) by gas source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE) with ammonia (NH3). The initial nucleation (at 1130−1190K) of an AlN monolayer with full substrate coverage resulted in a very rapid transition to two-dimensional (2D) growth mode of AlN. The rapid transition to the 2D growth mode of AlN is essential for the subsequent growth of high quality GaN, and complete elimination of cracking in thick ( > 2 μm) GaN layers. We show, using Raman scattering (RS) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements, that the tensile stress in the GaN is due to thermal expansion mismatch, is below the ultimate strength of breaking of GaN, and produces a sizable shift in the bandgap. We show that the GSMBE AlN and GaN layers grown on Si can be used as a substrate for subsequent deposition of thick AlN and GaN layers by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE).

AbstractWe report very small interdiffusion and surface segregation of Si in δ-doped GaAs, A10.3Gao.7As and Quantum Wells grown at 580 C by Gas Source Molecular Beam Epitaxy. Capacitance-Voltage profiles of δ-doped layers are 38 Å wide for growth at 580 C and further, insignificant profile narrowing is observed at 530C and below. Much wider profiles are observed at equivalent substrate temperature for As4 growth. Atomic diffusion of Si in δ-doped Al0.3Ga0.7As is found to have a rate of D0=5× 10−cm2/sec with an activation energy of 1.8 eV.
