非极性
a
面AlN(
a
-AlN)能够从根本上解决极性AlN引起的量子限制斯塔克效应问题,是提升AlGaN发光器件效率的有效途径。但是,非极性AlN生长面临更大的挑战,目前难以实现低缺陷密度、高平整表面的非极性
a
-AlN。高温热处理是一种提高AlN质量的有效方法,但在热处理过程中,非极性
a
-AlN的表面形貌演变的物理机理尚不明确,直接影响了

Nonpolar
a
-AlN is the fundamental method to eliminate quantum-confined Stark effect
and further improve the efficiency of AlGaN-based devices such as light-emitting diodes. However
it is hard to obtain high quality nonpolar
a
-AlN on heterogeneous substrates because the large and inhomogeneous mismatch between the heterogeneous substrate and the epitaxial layer. High temperature annealing is an effective and repeatable method to improve the quality of AlN templates. However
the physical mechanism is still not clear on how the high temperature annealing method effects the surface morphology of non-polar AlN
which affects the quality improvement of
a
-AlN. In this work
the surface evolution of the
a
-AlN with high temperature annealing has been investigated and the mechanism of how the thermal annealing effects on the surface evolution has been explored both by experiment and first-principles calculations. It is found that the Al/N atoms tend to decompose along
a
-/
m
-plane AlN and reabsorb along
c
-plane AlN
which result in the phenomenon that the area of ordered stripes along
c
-axis increases with higher annealing temperature or longer annealing time. The research will provide deeper understanding on the mechanism of the HTA effect on
a
-AlN
which will be benefit to the fabrication of
a
-AlN related devices.
