    Abstract

    The damage buildup behavior in Al xGa 1-xN films bombarded with kilo-electron-volt heavy ions at 77 and 300 K was studied. Rutherford backscattering/channeling spectrometry and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy were used for the study. It was found that the damage buildup behavior at 300 K was essentially similar for all the AlGaN films studied. The results show that an increase in Al content changes the main features of the amorphization behavior and strongly enhances dynamic annealing processes.
