Description
Deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes have attracted considerable attention for realizing virus inactivation applications. The UV-LEDs use the AlN underlying layer and the plane sapphire substrate. However, the low growth temperature in AlN underlying layer is grown by limited growth temperature in conventional MOVPE, and high temperature is preferable for AlN growth. Furthermore, the AlN underlying layer has many dislocations owing to the active layer in the device region when the flat sapphire substrate was used with a dislocation value of > 109 cm−2. We showed the high-temperature crystal growth of AlN with a temperature of 1700 °C by high temperature and gas flow velocity MOVPE. The achieved dislocation density was ~ 4 × 108 cm−2. Additionally, this data means the low dislocation densities in the AlN layer with a growth time of only 15 min and a dislocation density of < 1 × 109 cm−2 are obtained. The AlN growth temperature exceeding 1550 °C decreases the growth rate. These results indicate desorption from the surface of the substrate in a hydrogen atmosphere. Furthermore, the characteristic dislocation behavior of AlN in high-temperature growth at 1700 °C was elucidated from TEM images.
