摘要
We fabricated high-quality InAlN/GaN heterostructures by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that InAlN/GaN heterostructures grown under optimal conditions have flat surfaces and abrupt heterointerfaces. Electron mobility from 1200 to 2000 cm(2)/V s was obtained at room temperature. To our knowledge, this mobility is the highest ever reported for InAlN/GaN heterostructures. We also investigated the relationship between the Al composition and sheet electron density (N-s) for the first time. N-s increased from 1.0 x 10(12) to 2.7 x 10(13) cm(-2) when the Al composition increased from 0.78 to 0.89. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
