Abstract

Low-temperature (LT-) AlN interlayer reduces tensile stress during growth of AlxGa1-xN, while simultaneously acts as the dislocation filter, especially for dislocations of which Burger"s vector contains [0001] components. UV photodetectors using thus-grown high quality AlxGa1-xN layers were fabricated. The dark current bellow 50 fA at 10 V bias for 10 mm strip allowing a photocurrent to dark current ratio greater than one even at 40 nW/cm2have been achieved.
