The effect of growth conditions and thickness of AlN interlayers on the strain state of MOVPE-grown Al x Ga 1−x N epilayers on GaN/sapphire templates has been investigated. It was found that in almost all cases, the AlN interlayers apply a compressive strain to the AlGaN layer and prevent the formation of cracks. From use of both atomic force microscopy and cross-sectional electron...
