A pulsed atomic-layer epitaxy growth technique has been introduced to substantially diminish the induced strain and oxygen incorporation on aluminium nitride films grown at standard pressure by metal organic chemical vapour deposition. The qualities of the as-deposited aluminium nitride films were studied by varying the aluminium nitride nucleation layer growth temperature at 700°C, 800°C, 900°C, 1000°C and 1100°C, respectively. The compressive strain inside the as-deposited aluminium nitride films, induced by the hetero-epitaxial growth on sapphire, was investigated through Raman spectroscopy by focusing on the evolution of E2 (high) peak frequency, where almost stress-free aluminium nitride films were attained at nucleation layer growth temperature of 1100°C. Then, the correlation between luminescence defect and level of foreign impurities respective to the varied nucleation layer growth temperatures were also systematically analysed through photoluminescence spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. © 2021, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
