Abstract
Two hexagonal GaN epilayers (samples A and B) with multiple buffer layers and single buffer layer are grown on Si (111) by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE). From the results of Rutherford backscattering (RBS)/channeling and high resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD), we obtain the lattice constant (a and c) of two GaN epilayers (aA = 0.3190 nm, cA = 0.5184 nm and aB = 0.3192 nm, cB = 0.5179 nm), the crystal quality of two GaN epilayers (χmin a = 4.87%, χmin b = 7.35% along 〈12̄13〉 axis) and the tetragonal distortion eT of the two samples along depth (sample A is nearly fully relaxed, sample B is not relaxed enough). Comparing the results with the two samples, it is indicated that sample A with multiple buffer layers have better crystal quality than sample B with a single buffer layer, and it is a good way to grow GaN epilayer on Si (111) substrates using multiple buffer layers to improve crystal quality and to reduce lattice mismatch.
