abstract = {We compared InGaN- and AlInGaN-layers grown by
metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) in terms of
morphology, growth mode and indium incorporation. The growth
parameters of the AlInGaN layers only differed from InGaN
growth by an additional trimethylaluminum (TMAl) flow.
Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements showed that
the indium incorporation in AlInGaN was significantly
increased compared to InGaN. Atomic force microscopy (AFM)
was used to analyze the morphology and the growth mode. The
additional TMAl flow changed the growth mode from a
step-flow mode to a 2-dimensional (2D) island nucleation
mode, yielding a smoother layer morphology. This behavior
can be explained by the low surface mobility of the Al
adatoms and their nucleation on terraces between adjacent
steps. Step bunching – as observed for InGaN – was
avoided during AlInGaN growth. This reduced the AFM root
mean square roughness by $40\%$ compared to InGaN. Possible
impacts on charge carrier localization in QWs are
discussed.},
