The growth of high-quality ZnO layers with optical properties congruent to those of bulk ZnO is still a great challenge. Here, for the first time, we systematically study the morphology and optical properties of ZnO layers grown on SiC substrates with off-cut angles ranging from 0° to 8° by using the atmospheric pressure meta–organic chemical vapor deposition (APMOCVD) technique. Morphology analysis revealed that the formation of the ZnO films on vicinal surfaces with small off-axis angles (1.4°–3.5°) follows the mixed growth mode: from one side, ZnO nucleation still occurs on wide (0001) terraces, but from another side, step-flow growth becomes more apparent with the off-cut angle increasing. We show for the first time that the off-cut angle of 8° provides conditions for step-flow growth of ZnO, resulting in highly improved growth morphology, respectively structural quality. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements showed a strong dependence of the excitonic emission on the off-cut angle. The dependences of peak parameters for bound exciton and free exciton emissions on temperature were analyzed. The present results provide a correlation between the structural and optical properties of ZnO on vicinal surfaces and can be utilized for controllable ZnO heteroepitaxy on SiC toward device-quality ZnO epitaxial layers with potential applications in nano-optoelectronics.

ABSTRACTAn approach is developed for understanding the cross-hatch morphology in lattice mismatched heteroepitaxial film growth. It is demonstrated that both strain relaxation associated with misfit dislocation formation and subsequent step elimination (e.g. by step-flow growth) are responsible for the appearance of nanoscopic surface height undulations (0.1-10 nm) on a mesoscopic (∼100 nm) lateral scale. The results of Monte Carlo simulations for dislocation- assisted strain relaxation and subsequent film growth predict the development of cross-hatch patterns with a characteristic surface undulation magnitude ∼50 Å in an approximately 70% strain relaxed In0.25Ga0.75As layers. The model is supported by atomic force microscopy (AFM) observations of cross-hatch morphology in the same composition samples grown well beyond the critical thickness for misfit dislocation generation.
