摘要
AlN layers were directly grown on sapphire substrates with slightly different miscut angles from the c-plane by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy at 1300 degrees C. By X-ray diffraction analysis, the structural quality was found to improve with the increase in substrate off-angle. When the substrate off-angle was 0.5 degrees, the X-ray rocking Curve (XRC) full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) of symmetric and asymmetric planes were 170 and 550 arcsec, respectively. At smaller off-angle, XRC-FWHMs were wider. When the substrate off-angle was zero, the XRC-FWHM was considerably inferior to that on 0.5o-off-angle sapphire. The surface morphology was investigated. Atomic steps were observed oil the substrates with a small misorientation. In contrast, macro steps appeared on larger-off-angle sapphire substrates. (C) 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
