Abstract
This article reports a nanomechanical response study of the contact-induced deformation behavior in Alol6Ga0.84 thin film by means of a combination of nanoindentation and the cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) techniques. Alol6Ga0.84N thin film is deposited by using the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method. Hardness and Young's modulus of the Al0.16Ga0.84N films were measured by a Berkovich nanoindenter operated with the continuolls contact stiffness measurements (CSM) mode. The obtained values of the hardness and Young's modulus are 19.76±0.15 GPa and 310.63±9.41 GPa, respectively. The XTEM images taken in the vicinity regions just underneath the indenter tip revealed that the multiple ”pop-ins” observed in the load-displacement curve during loading are due primarily to the activities of dislocation nucleation and propagation The absence of discontinuities are in the unloading segments of load-displacement curve suggests that no pressure-induced phase transition was involved.
