Abstract:
AlGaN / AlN-based epitaxy are essential materials for achieving compact, efficient, and mercury-free deep-UV light sources for sterilization and biomedical applications. However, the absence of high-quality and cost-effective AlGaN / AlN template hindered the commercialization. In 2015, Miyake et al. firstly demonstrated high-temperature annealing to achieve high-quality AlN template on sapphire substrate with a reasonable cost. However, its further utilization to real light-emitting diodes was unexpectedly difficult. In this report, we’ll discuss the origin of strain in the AlGaN / AlN epitaxy and its impact to the materials growth and device performance. An active measure to engineer the strain status in the AlGaN / AlN system will also be revealed. With a proper Si-doping and thickness control in regrown AlN, it’s possible to overcame the inherent compressive strain in the annealed AlN template.
