摘要
Aluminium nitride (AIN) layers were grown on sapphire (0001) and on Si-terminated SIC (0001) in a RF-plasma enhanced MBE system with integrated UHV-STM/AFM. The layers have been investigated by cathodoluminescence (CL) and Raman measurements. The CL measurements show defect related transitions in the region of 2-5 eV and resolved excitonic features in the near band-edge region followed by multiple A,(LO) replica. From both CL and Raman studies a superior quality of the AlN/SiC layers in comparison to the AlN/sapphire layers is deduced. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
