摘要
The structural evolution of InN from microsized grains to nanocolumns, and to a two-dimensional epifilm grown on Si(111) substrates was realized by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. Grainy InN was grown at a higher substrate temperature, and a higher N-BEP/In-BEP ratio, and on a low-temperature InN buffer layer. A high-quality InN epifilm was grown at a lower substrate temperature, and a lower NBEP/InBEP ratio, and on a high-temperature AIN buffer layer with a room-temperature Hall mobility and a carrier concentration of 860cm(2)/(V.s) and 8.9 x 10(18) cm(-3), respectively. Photoluminescence spectroscopy showed a unique peak in the infrared region indicating that the energy gap of the InN is in the range of 0.64-0.66eV.
