Correlation Between the AlN Buffer Layer Thickness and the GaN Polarity in GaN/AlN/Si(111) Grown by MBE
In this work it is shown that thin AlN buffer layers cause N-polarity GaN epilayers, with a high inversion domains density. When the AlN thickness increases, the polarity of the epilayer changes to Ga. The use...
