GaN/InGaN multi quantum wells (MQWs) were grown on silicon (Si) substrates by Metalorganic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE). A structure of layers consisting of AlN, AlGaN and GaN was used for subsequent deposition of the MQW structures on Si substrates. The Al pre-deposition time before growing the buffer structure and its effect on the formation of cracks was investigated. The emitted wavelength of the structure was changed by varying the thickness of the Mg-doped AlGaN electron blocking layer, by reducing the growth temperature of the MQW structure and by increasing the QW width of the structure.
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.
