摘要
We fabricated a novel heterostructure comprising InAlN/AlGaN/AlN/GaN by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. Owing to the flat surface of the AlGaN underlayer, the obtained surface is flatter [root mean square (RMS) roughness of 0.27 nm] than that for the conventional InAlN/AlN/GaN heterostructure (RMS roughness of 0.53 nm). The electron mobility in the new structure is 1360 cm(2) V(-1) S(-1) with N(S) of 1.85 x 10(13) cm(-2), which is higher that in the conventional one. The insertion of the AlGaN layer into the conventional structure is effective for improving surface morphology and electron mobility. (C) 2008 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
