Book excerpt: The objective of the research was to develop high quality GaN epitaxial growth on alternative substrates that could result in higher external quantum efficiency devices. Typical GaN growth on sapphire results in high defect materials, typically 101́ı1́"℗£1́ʻcm1́"℗ø, due to a large difference in lattice mismatch and thermal expansion coefficient. Therefore, it is useful to study epitaxial growth on alternative substrates to sapphire such as ZnO which offers the possibility of lattice matched growth. High-quality metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of GaN on ZnO substrate is hard to grow due to the thermal stability of ZnO, out-diffusion of Zn, and H2́2back etching into the sample. Preliminary growths of GaN on bare ZnO substrates showed multiple cracks and peeling of the surface. A multi-buffer layer of LT-AlN/GaN was found to solve the cracking and peeling-off issues and demonstrated the first successful GaN growth on ZnO substrates. Good quality InGaN films were also grown showing indium compositions of 17-27% with no indium droplets or phase separation. ZnO was found to to sustain a higher strain state than sapphire, and thereby incorporating higher indium concentrations, as high as 43%, without phase separation, compared to the same growth on sapphire with only 32%. Si doping of InGaN layers, a known inducer for phase separation, did induce phase separation on sapphire growths, but not for growths on ZnO. This higher strain state for ZnO substrates was correlated to its perfect lattice match with InGaN at 18% indium concentration. Transmission electron microscopy results revealed reduction of threading dislocation and perfectly matched crystals at the GaN buffer/ZnO interface showing coherent growth of GaN on ZnO. However, Zn diffusion into the epilayer was an issue. Therefore, an atomic layer deposition of Al2́2O2́3was grown as a transition layer prior to GaN and InGaN growth by MOCVD. X-ray and PL showed distinct GaN peaks on Al2́2O2́3/ZnO layers demonstrating the first GaN films grown on Al2́2O2́3/ZnO. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed a decrese in Zn diffusion into the epilayer, demonstrating that an ALD Al2́2O2́3layer was a promising transition layer for GaN growth on ZnO substrates by MOCVD.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different methods were developed for the preparation of bulk ZnO substrates. Remarkable improvement on the surface, optical and crystalline quality of the bulk ZnO substrate was achieved. ZnO substrates with an atomically flat surface exhibiting terrace-like features were used as a substrate for GaN grown by MBE. High-resolution x-ray diffraction and low temperature PL results show that similar high quality GaN layers can be achieved on both annealed O-face and Zn-face ZnO substrates. The prospect of the device applications of GaN epitaxy on ZnO, including AlGaN/GaN MODFET structure on ZnO and GAN/ZnO based p-n junction were discussed.

Download or read book Piezotronics and Piezo Phototronics written by Zhong Lin Wang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental principle of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics were introduced by Wang in 2007 and 2010, respectively. Due to the polarization of ions in a crystal that has non-central symmetry in materials, such as the wurtzite structured ZnO, GaN and InN, a piezoelectric potential (piezopotential) is created in the crystal by applying a stress. Owing to the simultaneous possession of piezoelectricity and semiconductor properties, the piezopotential created in the crystal has a strong effect on the carrier transport at the interface/junction. Piezotronics is for devices fabricated using the piezopotential as a “gate” voltage to control charge carrier transport at a contact or junction. The piezo-phototronic effect uses the piezopotential to control the carrier generation, transport, separation and/or recombination for improving the performance of optoelectronic devices, such as photon detector, solar cell and LED. The functionality offered by piezotroics and piezo-phototronics are complimentary to CMOS technology. There is an effective integration of piezotronic and piezo-phototronic devices with silicon based CMOS technology. Unique applications can be found in areas such as human-computer interfacing, sensing and actuating in nanorobotics, smart and personalized electronic signatures, smart MEMS/NEMS, nanorobotics and energy sciences. This book introduces the fundamentals of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics and advanced applications. It gives guidance to researchers, engineers and graduate students.

Download or read book Growth and Characterization of Epitaxial ZnO Thin Films on GaN 0001 Epilayers and ZnO 0001 Substrates Using Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Depositon written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ZnO thin films were produced on GaN(0001) epilayers and ZnO(0001) substrates utilizing an iterative process requiring a structured low temperature (480 & deg;C) layer followed by a high temperature (800 & deg;C) densification step to create approximately 200 nm of contiguous film. This process is subsequently repeated to achieve thicker films with each iteration producing approximately 200 nm of dense film. Diethylzinc was used as the zinc source, UHP oxygen (O2) as the oxygen source, and UHP argon as both the carrier and diluent gas. Nitrous (N2O) and nitric oxide (NO2) were also used both as potential oxygen sources in the pure state as well as mixed with oxygen in the chamber and for nitrogen doping of the growing film. Major impurities of C, H, and N were incorporated into the films with the majority of the incorporation occurring during the low temperature step. Films grown using N2O + O2 contained an average of 5 x 1017 cm-3 atomic nitrogen while films using NO2 + O2 had an average nitrogen concentrations of 9 x 1019 cm-3. Needle microstructures were observed for low temperature layers using O2 and N2O + O2, while networked structures formed when using NO2 + O2. The surface of the densified films contained hexagonal pits that increased in number and depth with an increase in film thickness. Triple-axis XRD measurements indicated that the crystal structure of the films mimic the underlying substrates. A comparative analysis of undoped and N-doped films using capacitance voltage and photoluminescence measurements showed that the N-doped films were more insulating than the undoped films and the incorporation of nitrogen decreases the amount of excitonic peaks observed in the PL spectra. The 3.367 eV ionized donor bound exciton becomes dominant in N-doped films relative to the 3.361 eV donor bound exciton that dominates the undoped films. A preliminary inductively coupled plasma etching study determined that the smoothest sidewalls and surfaces were obtained using an.
