We have analyzed red and blue luminescence from porous silicon as a function of oxidation parameters feature dimension determined with an atomic force microscope. found correlation between intensity the increase in size caused by oxidation. further shown that luminescence, is identical, respect to spectrum fast decay, high microelectronic quality SiO2 grown on crystalline using dry oxygen plus organic chlorine compound. Thus, we conclude originates film rather than nanocrystals material....
Crystallization of GaN by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) on ammonothermally grown seed crystals is described. The initial growth conditions for HVPE are determined and applied further bulk growth. Smooth layers up to 1.1 mm thick excellent crystalline quality, without cracks, with low dislocation density obtained. Preparation the free-standing HVPE-GaN crystal slicing structural optical quality resulting wafer presented.
Homoepitaxial, GaN films on both c-plane surfaces of bulk crystals were examined using reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Differences in the RHEED pattern, time development intensity, and surface reconstructions observed. The substrate prepared either by mechanical polishing [GaN(0001)A] or chemo-mechanically [GaN(0001̄)B]. Then grown molecular beam epitaxy; Ga was provide a Knudsen cell nitrogen from NH3. On B surface, rich reported Smith co-workers [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79,...

An analysis field conductivity tensor components allowed us to discuss main scattering mechanisms confirm unambiguously 2DEG...
Surface polarity plays a significant role in chemical etching of GaN KOH solution, process that is important for quality control and device fabrication. In this work, basic mechanisms are proposed to explain the surface orientation semiconductor. addition, it shown how prior photoetching inert surfaces [the polar (0001), semipolar (101̅1̅), nonpolar (11̅00) interfaces] enables etching. Photoetching gives rise formation nanocolumns on dislocations protrusions nanoscale inhomogeneities....
We demonstrate continuous-wave operation at 411nm of InGaN multi-quantum-well laser diodes (LDs) made by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (PAMBE). The threshold current density and voltage for these LDs are 4.2kA∕cm2 5.3V, respectively. High optical output power 60mW is achieved. fabricated on low-dislocation-density bulk GaN substrates, growth conditions which resemble liquid-phase epitaxy. show that use such substrates eliminates spiral growth, the dominant mechanism PAMBE...
Epitaxial GaN films have been grown on single-crystal substrates, using surface cracked ammonia as nitrogen precursor for molecular beam epitaxy. With this approach excellent optical and structural properties are achieved. Low-temperature photoluminescence shows well-resolved excitonic lines with record low linewidths narrow 0.5 meV.

We demonstrate that relatively small GaN substrate misorientation can strongly change hole carrier concentration in Mg doped layers grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. In this work intentionally misoriented substrates (up to 2° with respect ideal ⟨0001⟩ plane) were employed. An increase the level above 1018 cm−3 and a decrease GaN:Mg resistivity below 1 Ω cm achieved. Using secondary ion mass spectroscopy we found incorporation does not varying angle. This finding suggests...

Abstract We have studied the properties of InGaN layers and quantum wells grown on gallium nitride substrates with intentional surface misorientation respect to its crystalline c ‐axis. Misorientation varied in range from 0 up 2 degree. The indium content was changed by using different growth temperature (between 750 °C 820 °C) during metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. With increasing angle average decreased significantly. This effect accompanied strong increase emission line bandwidth...
The impact of wet treatment using an (NH4)2S-alcohol solution on the interface state p-GaN/Ni/Au/Pt contact system and laser diode processing was investigated. Sulfur cleaning resulted in reduced surface roughness resistivity. lowest specific resistance (ρc < 1 × 10−4 Ω·cm2) achieved with samples treated (NH4)2S-isopropanol solution, whereas highest resistivity = 3.3 (Ra 16 nm) were observed prepared by standard methods.
