ABSTRACTThe interaction of growth intrinsic stacking faults with inversion domain boundaries in GaN epitaxial layers is studied by high resolution electron microscopy. It is observed that stacking faults may mediate a structural transformation of inversion domain boundaries, from the low energy types, known as IDB boundaries, to the high energy ones, known as Holt-type boundaries. Such interactions may be attributed to the different growth rates of adjacent domains of inverse polarity.

AbstractMicrostructural investigations on GaN films grown on SiC and sapphire substrates by laser induced molecular beam epitaxy have been performed. Threading dislocations with Burgers vectors of 1/3<1120>, 1/3<1123> and [0001] are typical line defects, predominantly the first type of dislocations. Their densities are typically 1.5×1010 cm−2 and 4×109 cm−2 on SiC and sapphire, respectively. Additionally, planar defects characterized as inversion domain boundaries lying on {1100} planes have been observed in GaN/sapphire samples with an inversion domain density of 4×109 cm−2. The inversion domains are of Ga-polarity with respect to the N-polarity of the adjacent matrix. However, GaN layers grown on SiC show Ga-polarity. Possible reasons for the different morphologies and structures of the films grown on different substrates are discussed. Based on an analysis of displacement fringes of inversion domains, an atomic model of the IDB-II with Ga-N bonds across the boundary was deduced. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observations and the corresponding simulations confirmed the IDB-II structure determined by the analysis of displacement fringes.

ABSTRACTInversion domain boundaries (IDBs) in GaN grown on sapphire (0001) were studied by a combination of high resolution transmission electron microscopy, multiple dark field imaging, and convergent beam diffraction. Films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), metalorganic vapor deposition (MOCVD), and hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) were investigated and all found to contain IDBs. Inversion domains (IDs) that extended from the surface to the interface were found to be columnar with facets on the {10–10} and {11–20} planes. Other domains ended within the film that formed IDBs on the (0001) and {1–102} planes. The domains were found to grow in clusters and connect at points along the boundary.

Inversion Domain Boundaries

Convergent-beam electron diffraction and Z-contrast imaging are used to study oxygen-associated defects, flat inversion domain boundaries, dislocations, and interfaces in sintered AlN ceramics. The structures of these defects are directly derived from atomic-resolution Z-contrast images. The flat inversion domain boundaries contain a single Al-O octahedral layer and have a stacking sequence of . . .bAaB-bAc-CaAc. . , where -cAb- indicates the single octahedral layer. The expansion at the flat inversion domain boundaries is measured to be 0.06 (±0.02) nm. The interfaces between 2H- and polytypoid-AlN are found to be also inversion domain boundaries but their stacking sequence differs from that of the flat inversion domain boundaries.
