We found that this REMOCVD allowed the growth of epitaxial GaN films of the wurtzite structure of (0001) orientation on sapphire substrates with a high growth rate of 0.42 μm/h at a low temperature of 800 °C. The present REMOCVD is a promising method for GaN growth at relatively low temperature and without using costly ammonia gas.

Growth of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells on size-controllable nanopyramid arrays 査読有り

Japanese Journal of Applied Physics 53 巻頁： 0303060 2014年3月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

Regularly distributed nanopyramid arrays with a highly uniform size were grown by selective-area growth. The nanopyramid size could be tuned by varying the growth time. Two emission peaks were observed from multiple quantum wells grown on the nanopyramids. The longer-wavelength peak originated from the apexes of pyramids with threefold symmetry. High-density stacking faults observed at these triangular apexes might be responsible for the higher indium incorporation. The formation of embedded voids inside the pyramids was explained by the different growth rates at the edge and center of the mask window caused by the low diffusion length.

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

The effects of GaN quantum barriers with changing growth temperatures on the interfacial
characteristics of GaN/InGaN single quantum well (SQW) grown on GaN templates by metalorganic
vapour phase epitaxy were in situ investigated by X-ray crystal truncation rod (CTR) scattering and
X-ray reflectivity measurements at growth temperature using a laboratory level X-ray diffractometer.
Comparing the curve-fitting results of X-ray CTR scattering spectra obtained at growth temperature
with that at room temperature, the InxGa1-xN with indium composition less than 0.11 was stabile of
the indium distribution at the interface during the whole growth processes.

Applied Physics Express 7 巻 ( 3 ) 頁： 034104 2014年3月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

We fabricated and characterized a two-junction GaInN-based solar cell using a tunnel junction fabricated by crystal growth. This solar cell has two active layers with a differing bandgap energy corresponding to blue or green light. We confirmed that the open-circuit voltage (VOC) in this solar cell was increased by the series connection using the tunnel junction. The short-circuit current density, VOC, fill factor, and energy conversion efficiency of this solar cell were 0.28 mA/cm2, 3.0 V, 0.5, and 0.41%, respectively, under an air mass filter of 1.5 G at 1-sun irradiation and room temperature.

Shin Hashimoto, Takao Nakamura, Yoshio Honda, Hiroshi Amano

Journal of Crystal Growth 388 巻頁： 112-115 2014年2月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

A novel activation process for Mg-implanted GaN was demonstrated. As opposed to the conventional thermal annealing process, an H2/NH3 alternating supply annealing process achieved better optical activation, stronger near-ultraviolet luminescence and weaker yellow luminescence in the photoluminescence spectroscopy. After this process, small hexagonal hillocks were observed on the surface, which indicated that crystal regrowth was induced by this process, consisting of decomposition of GaN by H2 supplies and re-crystallization by NH3 supplies. It was revealed that the implanted Mg could easily be located at the activation site by means of crystal regrowth by this process.

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

The luminescent properties of Mg-doped GaN have recently received particular attention, e.g., in the
light of new theoretical calculations, where the deep 2.9 eV luminescence band was suggested to be
the main optical signature of the substitutional MgGa acceptor, thus, having a rather large binding
energy and a strong phonon coupling in optical transitions. We present new experimental data on
homoepitaxial Mg-doped layers, which together with the previous collection of data give an
improved experimental picture of the various luminescence features in Mg-doped GaN.

Thin Solid Films 546 巻 ( 11 ) 頁： 108-113 2013年11月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

We report on the characteristics of a-plane GaN films directly grown on optimized silicon-dioxide-patterned r-plane sapphire substrates. Various shapes and sizes of silicon dioxide patterns were considered with the aim of achieving fully coalescent a-plane GaN films with a smooth surface and high crystalline quality. The omega full widths at half maximum of the X-ray rocking curve values of optimized a-plane GaN films with regular hexagonal patterns of 1 micron window width and 6 micron mask width were measured to be 597 arcsec along the c-axis direction and 457 arcsec along the m-axis direction. Atomic force microscopy images revealed a significant reduction in the density of submicron pits in the mask region.

Strain-Compensated Effect on the Growth of InGaN/AlGaN Multi-Quantum Well by Metalorganic Vapor Phase Epitaxy 査読有り

Tomohiro Doi, Yoshio Honda, Masahito Yamaguchi, and Hiroshi Amano

Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 52 巻 ( 8 ) 頁： 08JB14 2013年8月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

InGaN/AlGaN multi-quantum wells (MQWs) were grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The In composition of the InGaN well layer was found to increase with the tensile strain of the AlGaN barrier layer. The InGaN/AlGaN strain-compensated structure can be grown at a higher growth temperature than that of the InGaN/GaN MQW, which shows that the same emission wavelength and thus the density of the V-defects can be effectively suppressed.

Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 52 巻 ( 8 ) 頁： 08JB03 2013年8月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

A thermal-etching process for fabricating nanoporous GaN templates in a metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) reactor was proposed. Such nanoporous templates exhibited nearly complete strain relaxation and considerably increased photoluminescence (PL) intensity. The threading dislocation density (TDD) after overgrowth was reduced from 3 ×109 to 4 ×108 cm-2 for the template with poor quality, whereas little improvement was observed for the high-quality template (TDD, 4 ×108 cm-2). Multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown on a nanoporous template fabricated from the high-quality GaN template were used to assess the effect on LED performance. The PL intensity of the sample with a nanoporous structure showed a twofold increase in PL intensity compared with the control sample.

Growth of GaN on Si(111) Substrates via a Reactive-Sputter-Deposited AlN Intermediate Layer 査読有り

Japanese Journal of Applied Physics 52 巻頁： 08JB16 2013年8月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

GaN films were successfully grown on Si(111) substrates using a reactive-sputter-deposited AlN intermediate layer (sp-AlN) at 350 °C. Uniform GaN growth was obtained with the pre sputtering of a thin Al film before the deposition of sp-AlN. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements revealed that the density of pits originating from the ends of mixed/screw-type dislocations is about 109 cm-2, which is much lower than that of GaN grown on a metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) deposited AlN intermediate layer. The decrease in the pit density might have originated from the small number of initial nuclei of GaN.

Fabrication of InGaN/GaN Multiple Quantum Wells on (1-101) GaN 査読有り

Tomoyuki Tanikawa, Tomotaka Sano, Maki Kushimoto, Yoshio Honda, Masahito Yamaguchi, and Hiroshi Amano

Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 52 巻 ( 8 ) 頁： 08JC05 2013年8月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) on semipolar (1101) GaN microstripes on a Si substrate were fabricated and their optical properties were investigated. From cathodoluminescence (CL) analysis, strong CL emission was obtained in an MQW emitting at 433 nm. However, dark lines appeared in MQWs emitting at longer wavelengths. These dark lines are attributed to lattice relaxation and the generation of misfit dislocations and stacking faults in an MQW, resulting in nonradiative centers. The internal quantum efficiency (IQE) was estimated from excitation-power-dependent photoluminescence analysis. The (1101) InGaN/GaN MQW had a high IQE owing to the high crystalline quality of the underlying GaN and the reduced piezoelectric field. The IQE at a carrier concentration of 1×1018 cm-3 in a sample emitting at 490 nm was as high as 90%. The efficiency decreased in a sample with a higher indium content in the MQW due to the generation of misfit dislocations and stacking faults.

Stacking Faults and Luminescence Property of InGaN Nanowires 査読有り

Takuya Tabata, Jihyun Paek, Yoshio Honda, Masahito Yamaguchi, and Hiroshi Amano

Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 52 巻 ( 8 ) 頁： 08JE06 2013年8月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

InGaN nanowires (NWs) were grown on (111)Si substrate using radio-frequency plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy, and the density of the stacking faults (SFs) in the InGaN NWs was estimated. High-density SFs were observed in the scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the InGaN NWs, and a few zincblende layers appeared in the wurtzite structure. When growth temperature increased, the density of the SFs in the InGaN NW, the photoluminescence (PL) peak wavelength, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of PL spectra decreased, whereas the integrated PL intensity increased. These results suggest that a high growth temperature is effective for decreasing the density of SFs in InGaN NWs, and InGaN NWs grown at high temperature have strong PL luminescence due to the low In composition and the corresponding low SFs density.

Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 52 巻 ( 8 ) 頁： 08JC04 2013年8月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

We report on the combined effects of a-plane GaN layers on a nanoscale patterned insulator on an r-plane sapphire substrate and epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELOG) techniques. The fully coalescent a-plane GaN layer using nano- and microscale SiO2 masks showed the formation of nano- and microscale voids on the masks, respectively. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements revealed a surface roughness of 0.63 nm and a submicron pit density of 7.8 ×107 cm-2. Photoluminescence (PL) intensity was enhanced by a factor of 9.0 in comparison with that of a planar sample. Omega full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) values of the (1120) X-ray rocking curve along the c- and m-axes were 553 and 788 arcsec, respectively. A plan-view cathodoluminescence (CL) mapping image showed high luminescence intensity on the SiO2 masks.

High Internal Quantum Efficiency Blue-Green Light-Emitting Diode with Small Efficiency Droop Fabricated on Low Dislocation Density GaN Substrate 査読有り

Tomotaka Sano, Tomohiro Doi, Shunko Albano Inada, Tomohiko Sugiyama, Yoshio Honda, Hiroshi Amano, and Takashi Yoshino

Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 52 巻 ( 8 ) 頁： 08JK09 2013年8月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

We fabricated blue, blue-green, and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of different dislocation densities (DD) and characterized their internal quantum efficiency (IQE). The IQE of the blue LEDs fabricated using GaN substrate exceeded 90 percent, however, when we used a GaN-on-sapphire substrate, IQE was limited to 60 percent. Droop was reduced by use of the GaN substrate. The junction temperature of the GaN-on-sapphire substrate was found to be 200 degreeC although the junction temperature of the GaN substrate was 50 degreeC when a forward current of 100 A/cm2 was driven. A lowering of IQE in green LEDs to 60 percent was observed, even though we used a low-dislocation-density substrate.The junction temperature of blue-green and green LEDs was about 100 degreeC when a forward current of 177 A/cm2 was driven, which indicated that junction temperature is not a major factor for IQE suppression in green LEDs.

Growth Mode and Threading Dislocation Behavior of GaN Films Grown on Patterned Sapphire Substrate with Radial Stripe Pattern 査読有り

Koji Okuno, Takahide Oshio, Naoki Shibata, Yoshio Honda, Masahito Yamaguchi, and Hiroshi Amano

Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 52 巻 ( 8 ) 頁： 08JB09 2013年8月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

A sapphire substrate with a grooved stripe pattern along different radial directions was prepared to investigate the effects of stripe direction on the growth mode and threading dislocation (TD) behavior of GaN films. When the stripe direction is oriented parallel to [1010]sapphire, the GaN films have a triangular structure that is formed by the GaN{1011} facets. As the stripe direction rotates from [1010]sapphire, nanosteps with a step height of around 80 nm are formed on the GaN{1011} facets and then the coalescence of GaN on the ridges and grooves advances. GaN films with a smooth surface and a TD density as low as 2.0×108 cm-2 were achieved when the stripe direction was rotated 3° from [1010]sapphire. Our result indicates that the surface roughness and TD density of GaN films can be controlled by precisely adjusting the angle of the stripe direction from [1010]sapphire.

Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 52 巻 ( 8 ) 頁： 08JB11 2013年8月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

A thick InGaN film was grown on a sapphire substrate by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy using a thin buffer layer of sputter-deposited InGaN. A thick film of highly luminescent In0.2Ga0.8N can be successfully grown at a rate as high as 2 µm/h. The crystal quality of InGaN grown on the sputter-deposited InGaN buffer layer was better than that of InGaN grown directly on the sapphire substrate. The sample showed n-type conduction with a carrier concentration and mobility of 5×1018 cm-3 and 3 cm2/(V·s), respectively.

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

We have investigated novel reflective electrodes by combining an ITO layer and a SiO2/AlN dielectric multilayer (DM) for UV-light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The reflectance of 10 pairs of SiO2/AlN DM reached 98.5 percent at 350 nm. As a result, the ITO/DM electrodes simultaneously satisfied the requirements of high reflectivity in the UV region, good contact characteristics, and current spreading. The light output power of the UV LED with an ITO/DM electrode is 1.2 and 1.6 times higher than those of LEDs with ITO/Al and Ni/Au electrodes, respectively.
