초록
본 연구에서는 패턴화된 사파이어 기판 위에 HVPE(Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy System) 법에 의해 50 nm 두께의 AlN thin film을 증착한 뒤, 에피층 구조가 M O CVD에서 성장되었다. AlN 버퍼층 박막의 표면형상이 SEM, AFM에의해서, 에피층 구조의 GaN 박막의 결정성은 X-선 rocking curve에 의해 분석되었다. 패턴화된 사파이어 기판 위에 증착된GaN 박막은, 사파이어 기판 위에 증착된 GaN 박막의 경우보다 XRD 피크 세기가 다소 높은 결과를 나타냈다. AFM 표면형상에서 사파이어 기판 위에 AlN 박막이 증착된 경우, GaN 에피층 박막의 p-side 쪽의 v-pit 밀도가 상대적으로 낮았으며, 결함밀도가 낮게 관찰되었다. 또한, AlN 버퍼층이 증착된 에피층 구조는 AlN 박막이 없는 에피층의 광출력에 비해 높은값을 나타냈다.
Abstract
In this research, 50 nm thick AlN thin films were deposited on the patterned sapphire (0001) substrate by using HVPE (Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy) system and then epitaxial layer structure was grown by MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition). The surface morphology of the AlN buffer layer film was observed by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and AFM (atomic force microscope), and then the crystal structure of GaN films of the epitaxial layer structure was investigated by HR-XRC (high resolution X-ray rocking curve). The XRD peak intensity of GaN thin film of epitaxial layer structure deposited on AlN buffer layer film and sapphire substrate was rather higher in case of that on PSS than normal sapphire substrate. In AFM surface image, the epitaxial layer structure formed on AlN buffer layer showed rather low pit density and less defect density. In the optical output power, the epitaxial layer structure formed on AlN buffer layer showed very high intensity compared to that of the epitaxial layer structure without AlN thin film.
