Abstract
Gallium nitride heterostructures were grown on silicon substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Plastic deformations of the substrate are observed that occurred during growth at temperatures of 930–975°C due to effective accumulation of compressive stress in the film. A method is proposed for controlled plastic deformation of silicon by high-temperature annealing with simultaneous in situ growth of a SiNx layer after the heterostructure is grown. This approach makes it possible to simplify the optimization of architecture of gallium nitride heterostructures for various technological task.
