Abstract:	摘要： In this paper, nearly lattice-matched AlInGaN/GaN epilayers grown on sapphire substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition have been studied. The structural and optical properties of these epilayers have been investigated and compared. The TMIn flow is believed to have a direct influence on the quality of the AlInGaN epilayer. By increasing indium composition in AlInGaN epilayer, dislocations have been found to decrease, indicating lower threading dislocation density confirmed by HRXRD. Reciprocal space mapping analysis has confirmed that the growth of AlInGaN on GaN buffer is a fully strained growth. Room temperature photoluminescence from AlInGaN exhibits two emissions originating from In(Ga)N clusters and the AlInGaN random matrix, respectively. Upon increasing the TMIn flow, red shift has been observed in the photoluminescence peak confirming the decrease in bandgap of AlInGaN epilayers. In the Raman spectra, the mode at 751 cm−1 is attributed to the A1 (LO) mode of AlInGaN. The mode at 632 cm−1 is attributed to In(Ga)N clustering and assigned as A1 (LO) mode. V-shaped defect pits with different density and size have been observed on the surface of AlInGaN epilayers.
