Thin AIN films growth on Si (III) by hydride vapor phase epitaxy
Abstract
Thin AlN layers have been grown on Si (111) by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method in a horizontal quartz reactor. The surface of layers has been studied by scanning lectron microscopy and by the Raman spectroscopy method and found to have the structured morphology. It has been determined that the layers have high specific electrical resistance and are strained in the plane of the substrate.
