Abstract

Transmission electron microscopy has been used to observe Al segregation around the threading dislocations in Al0.1Ga0.9N and Al0.3Ga0.7N grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on 6H-SiC. Dislocation lines were found to have up to 70% more Al concentration than those regions free of dislocations in the matrix. The Al-depleted regions around the dislocations are shown to be within a few nanometers from the dislocation lines. The results also show that more Al segregate to edge dislocations than to screw ones. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
