Grâce à une nouvelle combinaison des modes de croissances EJM et MOCVD nous avons réalisés des guides d'onde à base d'AlN et de GaN mono-cristalins sur saphir qui présentent de très faibles pertes à la propagation. Nous avons pu démontrer que ces guides ont des possibilités très intéressantes de doublage de fréquence dans le proche IR et le...

In this study, AlN epilayers were grown by ammonia-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on 3 nm h-BN grown on c-sapphire substrates. Their structural properties were investigated by comparing as-grown and postgrowth annealed layers. The role of annealing on the crystalline quality and surface morphology was studied as a function of AlN thickness and...

The technology of GaN HEMT structures is the subject of major developments for large-gap power components. However, it is necessary to develop innovative technological solutions to obtain high-performance normally-off devices. We present a new normally-off structure based on a nanostructured P-GaN multi-well gate. The design of this structure,...

En combinant EJM et EPVOM nous avons réalisés des guides d'onde à base d'AlN et de GaN mono-cristallins qui présentent de très faibles pertes à la propagation et des possibilités d'accord de phase modal intéressantes. A partir de ces structures, nous avons réalisés des guides canaux dont nous présentons les performances linéaires et non...

(111)-oriented cubic polytypes of silicon carbide (3C-SiC) films were grown by chemical vapor deposition on 2H-AlN(0001)/Si(111) and 2H-AlN(0001)/Si(110) templates. The structural and electrical properties of the films were investigated. For film thicknesses below 300 nm, the 3C-SiC material deposited on 2H-AlN/Si presented a better structural...

In the first part of this paper, we present a model that explains and determines quantitatively the twists between nucleation islands in the case of a Volmer–Weber heteroepitaxial growth of tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors along hexagonal orientations. These twists are caused by the network of the screw components of the 60° misfit...

Deep ultraviolet (DUV) light emitting diodes (LED) are expected to be the next generation of UV sources, offering significant advantages such as compactness, low consumption and long lifetimes. Yet, improvements of their performances are still required and the potential of AlyGa1-yN quantum dots as DUV emitters is investigated in this study....

In the present paper, we describe the development of new AlN seed layers obtained by combining molecular beam epitaxy and low temperature physical vapour deposition (magnetron sputtering). It is shown that it is possible to grow thick AlN seed layers with a good in-plane crystal ordering. GaN based structures on silicon can then be regrown with...
