摘要

In this paper the X-ray photoelectron spectrum and the Auger electron spectrum were used to study the microstructures of AlGaN/AlN/Si (111) grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The results indicated that a broad transition region, about 20 nm, was present at the interface of AlN/Si and it was composed of AlN and SiNx (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 4/3). In AlN film the existence of Si-Si bonds was found. In the interface of AlGaN/AlN, the main incorporation form of N-1s varied gradually from AlN to the compound of GaN and AlN The diffusion of Si atoms was so strong at the high growth temperatures that the signal of Si-2p could be found throughout the epilayer.
