Abstract

Epitaxial Al-polarity AlN films were deposited on (0001) sapphire using a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition process involving a modulated ammonia/trimethyl aluminum flow, a pressure reduction from 150 Torr to 40 Torr after the first stage of growth, and growing the first ∼0.1 µm of AlN at a moderate V/III ratio, followed by a switch to low V/III for the remainder of the growth. Smooth, flat epitaxial films with a full width half maximum of the X-ray rocking curves as low as 177 arcseconds/650 arcseconds for the (0002)/(1012) reflections were obtained.
