초록

The characteristics of GaN epitaxial layers grown on silicon (111) substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy have been investigated. The only control of AlN thickness was found to decrease the stress sufficiently for avoiding crack formation in an overgrown thick ($2.6{\mu}m$) GaN layer. X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements are used to determine the effect of AlN thickness on the strain in the subsequent GaN layers. Strong band edge photoluminescence of GaN on Si(111) was observed with a full width at half maximum of the bound exciton line as low as 17meV at 13K.
