Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ordered InGaN ternary alloys based on (InN)1/(GaN)n short-period superlattices (SPSs) have attracted much attention for their application to advanced photonic and electronic devices, because these alloys can be potentially free from their immiscibility problems. Generally, band-gap energy (Eg) of SPSs is limited to the discrete value because effective In composition is determined by the volume ratio of InN and GaN layers. In this study, we have tried continuous energy band control of SPSs by changing not only the volume ratio of InN and GaN layers, but also the disk size of fractional ML InN, i.e. 1-ML InN coverage. We have revealed that the Eg of 1ML-InN/4ML-GaN SPSs could be continuously controlled by changing 1-ML InN coverage when the effective In composition was in the range of 6 to 11%. It was also observed that the Eg of these samples were smaller than those of conventional InGaN ternary alloys in the same In composition range.
