Abstract
N-type AlGaN/GaN/AlN heterostructure have been successfully grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE) on Si (111) substrate. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the film have been studied and investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement reveals that the AlGaN/GaN/AlN was epitaxy grown on Si substrate with high Al mole fraction equal to 0.257 and FWHM equal to 0.528. PL spectrum exhibited a sharp and intense peak at 363.16 nm with the absence of yellow emission band, indicating good crystal quality. Raman scattering measurement reveals that the optical phonon modes of A1(Lo) and E2(H) of the AlGaN show one mode and two modes behavior, respectively. Hall effect
measurement shows that the film was highly doped with carrier concentration of 3.93 x 1019cm-3..
