Epitaxial domain formation and textured growth in AlN thin films deposited on Si(001) substrates by reactive magnetron sputtering was studied by transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The films have a wurtzite type structure with a crystallographic orientation relationship to the silicon substrate of AlN (0001) Si (001). The AlN film is observed to nucleate randomly on the Si surface and grows three dimensionally; forming columnar domains. The in-plane orientation reveals four domains with their a axes rotated by 15° with respect to each other: AlN 〈11 2- 0〉 Si [110; AlN; 〈01; 1-; 0〉; Si; 110; 〈11; 2-; 100; and AlN 〈01 1- 0〉 Si [100] An explanation of the growth mode based on the large lattice mismatch and the topology of the substrate surface is proposed. © 2006 American Institute of Physics;
