Abstract

The technique of low pressure MOVPE has been used to grow thin films of AlN and GaN on silicon and (0001) sapphire substrates using the single-source precursors diethylaluminum azide [Et2AlN3]3 (DEAA) and diethygallium azide [Et2GaN3]3 (DEGA). In-situ growth rate measurements have been performed for AlN growth on Si substrates. For comparison with conventional MOVPE growth, epitaxial films of AlxGa1-xN have also been deposited from triethylgallium (TEG), triethylaluminum (TEAl) and NH3 under similar conditions. The properties of the grown films are discussed in terms of precursor selection and growth conditions.
