We have investigated the electron affinity of Si-doped AlN films（N_（Si）= 1.0 × 10^（18）–1.0 × 10_（19）cm^（-3）） with thicknesses of 50, 200, and 400 nm, synthesized by metalorganic chemical vapor dep...We have investigated the electron affinity of Si-doped AlN films（N_（Si）= 1.0 × 10^（18）–1.0 × 10_（19）cm^（-3）） with thicknesses of 50, 200, and 400 nm, synthesized by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition（MOCVD） under low pressure on the ntype（001）6H–SiC substrates. The positive and small electron affinity of AlN films was observed through the ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy（UPS） analysis, where an increase in electron affinity appears with the thickness of AlN films increasing, i.e., 0.36 eV for the 50-nm-thick one, 0.58 eV for the 200-nm-thick one, and 0.97 e V for the 400-nm-thick one.Accompanying the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS） analysis on the surface contaminations, it suggests that the difference of electron affinity between our three samples may result from the discrepancy of surface impurity contaminations.展开更多

X-ray diffraction results indicate that all these Al1-xInxN epilayers have a relatively low density of threading dislocations. Rutherford backscattering/channeling measurements provide the exact compositional information and show that a gradual variation in composition of the Al1-xInxN epilayer happens along the growth direction. The experimental results of optical reflection clearly show the bandgap energies of Al1-xInxN epilayers. A bowing parameter of 6.5~eV is obtained from the compositional dependence of the energy gap. The cathodoluminescence peak energy of the Al1-xInxN epilayer is much lower than its bandgap, indicating a relatively large Stokes shift in the Al1-xInxN sample.展开更多

Mirror-like surfaces with a minimum lattice mismatch are obtained. The samples are studied by photoluminescence spectra, and the output is 3.17μm in wavelength. The surface of InAsSb epilayer shows that its morphological feature is dependent on buffer layer. With an InAs buffer layer used, the best surface is obtained. The InAsSb film shows to be of n-type conduction with an electron concentration of 8.52 × 10^16 cm^-3.展开更多
