Fully relaxed, crack free, smooth AlxGa1−xN layers with up to 50% Al composition were demonstrated on pseudo-substrates composed of dense arrays of 10 × 10 µm2 compliant porous GaN-on-porous-GaN tiles. The AlGaN layers were grown in steps for a total of 1.3 µm. The growth conditions necessary to demonstrate high quality films at higher Al compositions also suppressed any sidewall growth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
