Influence of Substrate Miscut on Properties of GaN-based LED Films Grown on Si(111)
GaN-based LED films were grown on Si(111) substrate with different miscut angle from 0 to 0.9 by MOCVD. The miscut angles of Si(111) substrates were precisely measured by high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD). The morphologies of the samples were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The GaN crystal quality and indium content of MQWs were analyzed by HRXRD. The optical properties of the samples were investigated by photoluminescence (PL). The results reveal that the miscut of Si(111) substrate has significant influence on the crystal quality
surface morphology and optical properties of GaN film. The optimal miscut angle of Si(111) substrate is within 0.5. Beyond this range
the crystal quality
surface morphology and optical properties of GaN film will deteriorate drastically.
