We achieved crack-free, thick AlN buffer on sapphire with low threading dislocation density (TDD) and atomically flat surface by introducing an ammonia (NH_3) pulse-flow multi-layer (ML) growth method through metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The edge- and screw-type dislocation densities of AlGaN layer on AlN buffer were reduced to 7.5×10^8 and 3.8×10^7 cm^<-2>, respectively, by using a ML-AlN buffer. We achieved single-peaked high-brightness operations of AlGaN deep-UV LEDs by fabricating them on the ML-AlN buffers on sapphire substrates. The maximum output power and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the 261 nm and 227.5 nm LEDs were 1.65 mW and 0.23% under room-temperature (RT) CW operation, and 0.15 mW and 0.2%, under RT pulsed operation, respectively., rights: 社団法人照明学会 rights: 本文データは学協会の許諾に基づきCiNiiから複製したものである relation: IsVersionOf: http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110006663889/, text, application/pdf}, pages = {79--82}, title = {227-261 nm AlGaN-based Deep Ultraviolet Light-emitting Diodes Fabricated on High-quality AlN Buffer on Sapphire}, volume = {32}, year = {2008}, yomi = {ヒラヤマ, ヒデキ and ヤタベ, トオル and ノグチ, ノリミチ and カマタ, ノリヒコ} }
