High-temperature growth of thick AlN layers was performed by solid source halide vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE) with local heating system. it was found that crystalline quality of AlN layers grown on sapphire (0 0 0 1) substrates improved with increase of growth temperature until 1500 degrees C. Degradation of crystalline quality occurred over 1550 degrees C, which is thought to be due to the decomposition of AlN crystal or sapphire substrate during the epitaxial growth. The full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) values of (0 0 0 2) and (10 10) diffraction from the AlN layer grown at 1500 degrees C were 103 and 828 arcsec, respectively. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) measurement showed a high concentration of oxygen incorporated into the AlN layer through the interface between sapphire and AlN at 1550 degrees C. The near band-edge emission peaking at 208.2 nm was also observed by cathodoluminescence measurement at room temperature. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Summary: An anomalous diode-like turn-on behavior was observed in the drain characteristics of current aperture vertical beta -Ga2O3 transistors, which was attributed to electron barrier created by negative fixed charges in the aperture opening.

Effect of substrate orientation on homoepitaxial growth of β-Ga2O3 by halide vapor phase epitaxy

Ken Goto, Hisashi Murakami, Akito Kuramata, Shigenobu Yamakoshi, Masataka Higashiwaki, Yoshinao Kumagai

Summary: The influence of substrate orientation on the homoepitaxial growth of beta-gallium oxide was investigated. It was found that the growth rate increased near the (001) substrate, but sharply decreased from (001) to (010) with triangular pits formed on the grown layer. The pits were found to originate from dislocations propagating in the substrate at an angle of 60° with respect to the (001) plane. A pit-free homoepitaxial layer was achieved when the substrate orientation was around 60°.

Investigation of high speed β-Ga2O3 growth by solid-source trihalide vapor phase epitaxy

Kyohei Nitta, Kohei Sasaki, Akito Kuramata, Hisashi Murakami

Summary: This study uses Trihalide Vapor Phase Epitaxy (THVPE) with solid GaCl3 as a group III precursor to successfully grow beta-Ga2O3, showing a linear increase in growth rate with increasing precursor pressure. The relationship between growth rate and VI/III ratio is investigated on sapphire substrates, with the maximum growth rate achieved at a VI/III ratio of 95. A growth rate of 32.2 μm/h is achieved on beta-Ga2O3 (001) substrates, with no particle generation, equivalent crystal quality to the substrate, and high purity comparable to HVPE.

Summary: An ab initio-based approach was used to investigate the facet stability of GaN during tri-halide vapor phase epitaxy (THVPE). Surface reconstructions were analyzed to create surface phase diagrams, and a triangular wedge model was used to compute absolute surface formation energies with a Wulff construction predicting the energetically preferred crystal growth form. The calculated results can be utilized to control the shape of GaN grown by THVPE.

Study of AlN growth using AMEC Prismo HiT3 MOCVD reactor

Jianzheng Hu, Long Yan, Ning Zhou, Yao Chen, Xiaoni Yang, Lianqiao Yang, Shiping Guo

Summary: The effect and mechanism of carrier gas velocity, V/III ratio, and carrier gas velocity match on the growth rate of AlN were investigated in this study. The results showed that the growth rate of AlN initially increased with hydrogen flow rate, reached saturation, and then decreased monotonically. The turning point value depended on the equipment and process. By increasing the MO VM, the growth rate of AlN could be improved, but the uniformity deteriorated due to turbulence and loss of uniform boundary layer. High quality AlN films were successfully grown on nano-patterned sapphire substrates with improved crystalline quality and atomic smooth surfaces.

Tingting Ma, Yang Li, Kangning Sun, Qinglin Cheng, Sen Li

Summary: This study investigates the melting process and nucleation behavior of sodium crystals using molecular dynamics simulation. The results show good agreement between simulated and experimental values for the melting temperature, density, and radial distribution function of sodium. The diffusion coefficient of liquid sodium increases linearly with temperature, and the homogeneous nucleation rate of melting in superheated sodium crystal exponentially increases with temperature. The findings provide theoretical support for applications involving heat and mass transfer in sodium-related systems.

Hisato Nishii, Shintarou Iida, Akira Yamasaki, Takumi Ikenoue, Masao Miyake, Toshiya Doi, Tetsuji Hirato

Summary: Epitaxial V2O3 films were fabricated on sapphire substrates using mist chemical vapor deposition (mist CVD) method, eliminating the need for high vacuum conditions. The films can be grown on sapphire substrates even under atmospheric pressure, with the optimal growth temperature at 823 K. The films grown at 823 K exhibit a metal-insulator transition at approximately 155 K. The film on C-plane sapphire exhibits a lower transition temperature compared to those on R- and A-plane sapphire substrates.

Summary: This article discusses the novel fractal nature of hydrothermally synthesized MoS2 QDs.

Summary: The effect of growth temperature on the buffer leakage currents of GaN-on-Si layers was investigated. It was found that higher growth temperature results in lower leakage currents. The defects in GaN layers grown at different temperatures were studied using photoluminescence technique, and a correlation between leakage currents, structural perfection, and donor concentration in GaN-on-Si layers was established. It was also observed that reduced growth temperature leads to the formation of inversion domains.
