Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) AlN is an attractive substrate for short-wavelength optoelectronics devices based on AlGaN. We have investigated threading dislocations (TDs) in epitaxial AlN films by etch-pit method. Epitaxial AlN films were etched by mixed acid solution (KOH+NaOH). The etch-pits were classified into 3 kinds of TD groups by those size. The TD density in AlN substrate grown by sublimation method was less than that of an epitaxial AlN on a sapphire, and did not increase after HVPE growth of the thick AlN on the sublimation-AlN substrate. Moreover, thick AlN films were grown on AlN/sapphire stripe seeds with triangular shape in cross section of the stripe pattern, and the TDs density on the surface of HVPE-grown films was reduced by the effect of facet control techniques.
