Outline of Final Research Achievements

Coherent Growth of high-Al-content AlGaN on SiC substrates aiming at device applications were investigated. As high-Al-content AlGaN, AlN/GaN short-period superlattices were grown. Various kinds of AlN/GaN Superlattices were grown to assess critical composition as well as critical thickness for coherent growth on SiC substrates. Superlattices with GaN mole fraction of 20% were successfully growth coherently. On the other hand, it was found that growth of 3-bilayer-thick GaN results in lattice relaxation. The relaxation was gradual. By using this nature, strain-controlled AlN were grown on SiC substrates via ultra-thin GaN/AlN multilayer structures.
