摘 要:The energy-efficient deep ultraviolet(DUV)optoelectronic devices suffer from critical issues associated with the poor quality and large strain of nitride material system caused by the inherent mismatch of *** this work,we have prepared the strain-free AlN film with low dislocation density(DD)by graphene(Gr)-driving strain-pre-store engineering and a unique mechanism of strain-relaxation in quasi-van der Waals(QvdW)epitaxy is *** DD in AlN epilayer with Gr exhibits an anomalous sawtooth-like evolution during the whole epitaxy *** can help to enable the annihilation of the dislocations originated from the interface between AlN and Gr/sapphire by impelling a lateral two-dimensional growth ***,it can induce AlN epilayer to pre-store sufficient tensile strain during the early growth stage and thus compensate the compressive strain caused by ***,the low-strain state of the DUV light-emitting diode(DUV-LED)epitaxial structure is realized on the strain-free AlN template with ***,the DUV-LED with Gr demonstrate 2.1 times enhancement of light output power and a better stability of luminous wavelength compared to that on bare *** in-depth understanding of this work reveals diverse beneficial impacts of Gr on nitride growth and provides a novel strategy of relaxing the vital requirements of hetero-mismatch in conventional heteroepitaxy.
