Abstract

Some effects of Al/N ratio on microstructure of AlN films grown on Si(111) substrates by PAMBE were investigated. Al/N ratio was controlled by rf power of N$_2$ plasma source system. Al excess or N excess conditions were obtained below or above 350 W rf power, respectively. Surface roughness and morphology of AlN film grown at Al/N=1.0 showed the best result. Under Al excess condition, it was suggested that excess Al atoms which did not contribute to the growth of AlN film prevent the normal crystal growth and make abnormal growth of some columns. However, under N excess condition, it was explained that some of the excess active N source turned into gas state and then desorbed out from substrate.
