Polarity dependence of In-rich InGaN and InN/InGaN MQWs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
In-rich InGaN films (XIn>0.5) and InN/InGaN multi-quantum wells were grown on Ga- and N-polarity GaN templates by radio-frequency plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The In-polarity InGaN films grown at 450°C showed superior crystalline quality and smoother surface morphology compared to the N-polarity samples, which were grown at 500∼550°C. By using the In-polarity In0.7Ga0.3N as a barrier layer, the InN/InGaN multi-quantum wells were successfully fabricated on the III-element polarity GaN templates at 450°C. Fine periodic structures and strong photoluminescence emission around optical communication wavelength were obtained from the In-polarity MQWs. These results indicate that the In-polarity growth is preferred to obtain a high quality InGaN film and the InN/InGaN MQWs in spite of its lower growth temperature.
