Paper doi abstract bibtex

We report on AlxGa1ÀxN/GaN ﬁlms grown by atmospheric pressure MOVPE in a home-made vertical reactor. The high temperature GaN template is grown using the Si/N treatment of (0 0 0 1) sapphire substrate. This process presents advantages of ELO technology without its ex-situ complicated steps and induces 3D (initial stage) to 2D growth mode. We investigate systematically the effect of the template thickness and morphology on optical properties of the AlGaN ﬁlms by photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Four 0.5 lm-thick Al0.07Ga0.93N samples on different GaN templates have been studied. PL spectra, dominated at low temperature by the donor bound exciton emission line, show a better ﬁlm quality when AlGaN is grown on 1.3 lm-thick high quality 2D GaN template. Two quenching mechanisms of the donor bound exciton PL-intensity are discussed. The PL peak linewidth increases as a function of Al composition. A bowing parameter of 0.93 eV is obtained from the band gap variations as a function of Al composition. Ó 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
