摘要
In this letter we report the fabrication of GaN/AlN short-period superlattices using switched atomic layer epitaxy. Superlattice structures with GaN well thicknesses ranging from 2.6 to 20.8 angstrom (with AlN barrier thicknesses of 2.5, 7.5, and 15 angstrom) were deposited over basal plane sapphire and characterized for their structure, crystallinity, and optical properties. Cross-sectional transmission electron micrographs indicate GaN/AlN interfaces and the superlattice surfaces are atomically smooth. The structures exhibit strong room temperature photoluminescence and a sharp absorption edge indicating a high optical quality.
