Abstract

AlN films were grown on Si wafers by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy using ammonia. The evolution of the reflection high-energy electron diffraction patterns, along the Si[110] azimuth, was examined for the different growth stages. Atomic force microscopy was performed on the film grown under optimized conditions on a slightly miscut Si(111) wafer, while X-ray reflectivity was measured on two AlN/Si samples with and without initial nitridation of the Si surface.
