Topological and electrical properties of capped and annealed (0001) hydride vapor phase epitaxy GaN films on sapphire
View through CrossRef
In light of the necessity to anneal GaN to activate implanted dopants, the effects of the annealing temperature and time, the quality of the hydride vapor phase epitaxy grown GaN film, the quality of the annealing cap, and the effects of the stresses generated by the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the film and the substrate are examined topographically using atomic force microscopy, and electrical measurements are made on Schottky diodes fabricated on the annealed samples. The results show that thermal decomposition begins at threading edge dislocations that form polygonized small angle grain boundaries during the annealing process; donor defects, probably nitrogen vacancies, are formed near the surface; and the donors are created more quickly when the annealing temperature is higher, the annealing time is longer, and the thermal stresses on the annealing cap are greater. The results suggest that the maximum annealing temperature is ∼1300 °C, and at that annealing temperature, the annealing time should not exceed 4 min.
