Abstract

AIN films were grown on Si< 100 >, using unskimmed pulsed supersonic jets of ammonia and trimethylaluminum (TMA). By seeding the ammonia gas in hydrogen or helium, several different energies of the N precursor were used to examine the effect of N kinetic energy on the growth rate of AIN. The energy of the Al precursor, TMA, was 130 meV in all cases. The highest growth rate (0.115 μm/hr) was achieved with the high energy ammonia jet. The role of number density on film growth is discussed.
