Abstract

Epitaxial growth of quaternary AlGalnN compounds by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy has been demonstrated. Two-dimensional growth is achieved under In excess, with a monolayer of In segregating at the growth front. The maximum In incorporation is significantly affected by the substrate temperature and the Al mole fraction of the alloy. This behavior has been attributed to the enhancement of In segregation due to the high binding energy of A1N compared to InN and GaN.
