The effect of defects on the formation of inversion domain boundaries in AlScN and their structural/electronic property improvement

The performance of wurtzite AlScN is hindered by defects such as inversion domain boundaries (IDBs) and interfacial contaminations. Both piezoelectricity and structural stability can be enhanced by applying tensile strain and reducing oxygen concentration.

Abstract

The performance of wurtzite AlScN is hindered by defects such as inversion domain boundaries (IDBs) and interfacial contaminations. Both piezoelectricity and structural stability can be enhanced by applying tensile strain and reducing oxygen concentration.
