摘要

The microstructure and typical defects in GaN and GaN/GaAIN thin film heterostructures grown on (0001)α-Al_2O_3 were investigated using different transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques including diffraction contrast analysis, multiple dark field imaging, and high-resolution TEM. The films were grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique. All of the films exhibited good electrical/optical properties. Yet, films were found to be of two distinctive types in terms of the microstructure. Films of the first type (A) were found to contain high, up to the 10~9 cm~2, density of inversion domains (IDs) as well as pure edge (b=1/3[1120]), screw and mixed type dislocations with the average density of 10~9 - 10~(10) cm~(-2). Smoother surface of the film, absence of IDs, and low (down to 10~7 cm~(-2) in the device quality layers) density of screw and mixed type dislocations were found to be characteristic for the second type (B) microstructure. The majority of defects present in these B-type GaN and GaN/GaAlN thin films were found to be threading pure edge dislocations associated with low angle tilt sub-grain boundaries. Despite the 10~(10) cm~(-2) density of the edge dislocations, the films displayed the device-quality electrical characteristics. Type A and type B microstructure can be obtained by the variation of growth conditions. The correlation between the optical and structural properties are discussed.
