Growth behaviors of GaN on patterned GaN substrate were studied herein. Spiral and nucleation growth were observed after miscut-induced atomic steps disappeared. The morphology of nucleation growth at different temperature is explained by a multi-nucleation regime introducing critical supersaturation. Simulated results based on a step motion model successfully explain the growth behaviors on stripes. These findings can be applied to control the surface kinetics of devices such as laser diodes grown on patterned substrate.
本文研究了图案化氮化镓衬底上氮化镓的生长行为。在错切诱导的原子台阶消失后,观察到了螺旋生长和成核生长。通过引入临界过饱和度的多核化机制解释了不同温度下成核生长的形态。基于台阶运动模型的模拟结果成功地解释了条纹上的生长行为。这些发现可应用于控制在图案化衬底上生长的器件(如激光二极管)的表面动力学。
