TEM Study of AlGaN/GaN on Hexagonal SiC Substrates

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present work concerns the microstructural characterization of a multi-component (based on GaN and related materials) and multi-layered (5 layers) film, grown on 6H-SiC substrate (with a misorientation of 1 degree off from the (0001) plane), using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM characterization showed no surface undulation, despite the presence of steps in the SiC/AlN interface.
