Abstract

A method for preparing a high In component AlInN thin film comprises the steps of firstly growing a low-temperature GaN nucleation layer on a substrate, secondly, growing a high-temperature GaN buffer layer on the low-temperature GaN nucleation layer, thirdly, growing an AlInN continuous gradient buffer layer on the high-temperature GaN buffer layer and fourthly, growing an AlInN layer on the continuous gradient buffer layer. A novel buffer layer structural design is adopted in the preparation method for the high In component AlInN thin film, stress can be made to be released gradually, the influence of lattice mismatch is reduced, and inducted dislocation in a growing process is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of growth of semiconductor nitride materials, and in particular relates to a preparation method of AlInN film with high In composition, mainly adopting three optimized buffer layer structure designs to epitaxial AlInN. Background technique [0002] The ternary alloy material AlInN is a direct bandgap material, and its bandgap width is adjustable from 0.7 to 6.2eV, which is the material with the widest adjustable bandgap range among nitride alloys. At the same time, the AlInN lattice constant also has a large adjustable range. By adjusting the composition ratio, lattice-matched heterostructures such as AlInN / InGaN, AlInN / GaN, and AlInN / AlGaN can be obtained. If it is used as a semiconductor light-emitting device The active layer, whose emission wavelength covers the spectral range from infrared to ultraviolet. Therefore, AlInN materials are widely used in optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes, solar-bli...
