摘要
Thick AlGaN layers and AlGaN/GaN superlattices have been grown on GaN using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy has been used to show that V-shaped surface pits on these samples differ from similar features observed in the InGaN system. Inversion domains and segregated Al are found in the middle of each V pit, and superlattice layers are observed to follow the pit sidewalls. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
