Heteroepitaxial films

Field emission from a heteroepitaxial undoped (lOO)-oriented diamond film of 20-[rm thickness deposited on Ir(lOO) substrate was investigated in Ref [441] using a W needle as an anode. As compared with a polycrystalline diamond film also deposited on Ir(lOO), the heteroepitaxial film emitted electrons at lower voltage, roughly 1/3 of the voltage needed for the polycrystalline film. The emission was uniform over the entire area of 3 mm in diameter. The threshold voltage when the emission current was 10 " A was estimated to be 40 V/pm, which was fairly high, because the film surface was flat and the film was thick.

Consider a heteroepitaxial film on a single crystal substrate. For a given family of planes (hkl), specific to the crystal phase that comprises the film, when the sample is irradiated at an incidence angle enabling these (hkl) planes to diffract, each crystal within the film diffracts and contributes to the intensity of a peak located at the angle 20 given by the Bragg relation.

Fig. 1.14. Schematic illustration of heteroepitaxial film growth with lattice mismatch. The substrate thickness is presumed to be large compared to film thickness, and the structure extends laterally very faj compared to any thicknesses. Under these circumstances, the lattice mismatch is accommodated by elastic strain an the deposited film.

Here, m andp are the oxidation states of UPD metal M and the more noble metal P. The factors b, 9, and q are introduced to accurately express the amount of deposited metal P in ML units with respect to atomic areal density of the substrate S h, k, /). They represent, respectively, the number of full UPD MLs, the UPD ML coverage, and the packing density of M atoms in complete UPD ML with respect to the substrate S h, k, /). The subscripts s and solv indicate the physical state of the metal (solv = solution phase and s = deposited). If sequence A-E (Fig. 7) is repeated an arbitrary number of times, a multilayer homo- or heteroepitaxial films can be obtained. The thin film growth using this method can be completely automated with experimental apparatus for Electrochemical Atomic Layer Epitaxy developed by Stickney et al. ... 

The specific features of the morphology of the nonpolar heteroepitaxial films and heterostructure are directly related to the specific microstructure, including both point and structural defects. They are also related to the electrical and emission properties of the nonpolar nitrides. These relations are discussed in greater detail in several chapters of the book. 

The superior optical properties of our microfacet QWs and reports on planar heteroepitaxial films lead us to heheve that if planar structures are grown on high-quality GaN substrates, then device performances could he drastically improved. In this section, we describe the MOVPE of GaN and InGaN/GaN QWs on semipolar (1122) GaN substrates, their fundamental optical properties, and the fabrication of LEDs.

The separation of the contributions to the total scattering amphtude in a bulk part and a surface part can be used in several situations, also beyond the crystal in vacuum described above. In principle, all nonbuLk parts can be contained in the surface contribution. A heteroepitaxial film containing several layers and types of...
