摘要
We have grown monocrystalline AlN on Si (111) substrates over the temperature range 550-900-degrees-C using electron cyclotron resonance plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The best (0002) peak omega rocking curve full width at half-maximum value obtained was 26 min for a film deposited at 900-degrees-C. All films nominally displayed the AlN[0001] parallel-to Si[111] orientation. The exact angle between AlN[0001] and Si[111] decreased from 2.1-degrees to 1.1-degrees and the (0002) peak widths improved with increasing substrate temperature. Mosaic-type disorder was shown by high resolution x-ray diffraction to be the dominant cause of the omega rocking curve peak full widths.
