  • 为了更好地在Si衬底上外延生长GaN薄膜, 需要先生长缓冲层(如AlN), 其中能否对起始的金属Al层实现可控生长, 将决定最终外延层的材料质量. 本文采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算, 理论上模拟计算了金属Al原子分别在清洁的、H原子和Cl原子钝化的Si(100)及Si(111)表面的吸附及扩散动力学行为. 研究结果显示, 在清洁的Si(100)表面上, Al原子易于吸附在沟槽中Tr位点, 沿沟槽呈曲折状扩散; 在H钝化、Cl钝化的Si(100)表面上, Al原子易于吸附在二聚体列顶部的H位置, 在二聚体列顶部沿直线扩散. 在不同方式处理的Si(111)表面, Al原子的最稳定吸附位置相同, 均易吸附于第二层Si原子的Top位(T4位点), 扩散路径类似, 均沿T4H3 (空心位点)的路径扩散. 无论是Si(100)还是Si(111)表面, H钝化、Cl钝化处理Si表面均有效降低Al原子的扩散能垒, 使Al原子更容易在二维表面上扩散, 并通过吸附能的比较以及差分电荷密度图分析, 讨论了不同Si表面状态对金属Al原子吸附和扩散行为调制的物理机制.
    Density functional theory is used to calculate the adsorption and diffusion behavior of Al atoms on clean, H-terminate, Cl-terminate Si(100) and Si(111) surfaces. The most stable position of Al atom adsorption and the diffusion path are different on Si(100) surface terminated by different methods. On the surface of clean Si(100), the Tr site is the most stable site for Al atom with an adsorption energy of 4.01 eV, and the H and M sites are the sub-stable stable sites with the adsorption energies of 3.51 eV, and 3.63 eV, respectively. When the Al atom is adsorbed at the Tr site on the clean Si(100) surface, it bonds with the Si atom to destroy the Si—Si bond in the dimer. Therefore Al is easily adsorbed at the Tr site of the trench and diffuses in a zigzag pattern along the trench. On the H-terminate and Cl-terminate Si(100) surface, Si—Si bonds in the dimer column are changed from cross to parallel. Al is easily adsorbed at the H position at the top of the dimer column, and diffuses along the line at the top of the dimer. The differential charge density shows that the Al atom transfers electrons to the Si atoms on the surface, and the surface H-terminate and Cl-terminate weaken the interaction between Al atoms and Si, and reduces the diffusion energy barrier of Al atoms. The Si(111) surface terminated by different methods has the same stable position (T4 site) for the adsorption of Al atoms. When Al atom adsorbs at the T4 site on the clean Si(100) surface, it bonds to Si atom, which located at the three T1 site, then Al atom is firmly fixed by the three Al—Si bonds with a bond length of 2.55 Å. Thus Al atom can has the largest adsorption energy and form the most stable state at the T1 site. With the diffusion and migration of Al atom, the bond between Al atom and the T1 site in the opposite direction appears to be broken. When Al atom migrating to the saddle point position is the most unstable. Here Al atom bonds to the Si atoms of the two adjacent T1 sites to form a bond with a length of 2.49 Å, which is 0.06 Å shorter than the initial Al—Si bond (2.55 Å). What’s more, the diffusion energy barrier of Al atom at this position is 0.65 eV, which impede Al atom to diffuse and migrate. When Al atom migrates to the H site, it rebonds to the three Si atoms on the adjacent surface and forms a bond with a length of 2.52 Å, which is 0.03 Å shorter than the Al—Si bond (2.55 Å) at the initial position. On the H-terminate and Cl-terminate Si(111) surface, Al atom doesn’t bond with Si atom for the H or Cl saturates the dangling bonds on the Si surface. The Si(111) surface terminated by different methods has the same stable position for adsorption of Al atoms. The diffusion paths of Al atoms are similar, and they are easy to be adsorbed to the top position (T4 site) of the second Si atom, and the path along T4 to H3 is diffused. Similarly, the H-terminate or Cl-terminate of Si(111) surface weakens the electron transfer between Al and Si atoms and reduces the diffusion energy barrier of Al atoms. Regardless of the Si(100) or Si(111) surface, the H-terminate and Cl-terminate Si surfaces are effective in reducing the diffusion barrier of Al atoms.
