Research Abstract

The role of an AlInN buffer layer and an AlN nucleation layer incorporated with small amount of In has been investigated. The threading dislocation density in the grown layer was much reduced by these two layers. The FTIR spectra in a carbon doped (1-101)AlGaN layer showed a local vibration mode which is attributed to Al-C bond. This shows that the p-type conduction is organized by the carbon sitting on an N site.
