A detailed physical investigation of the H-induced microstructural damage in (0001) AlN epitaxial layers at various implantation temperatures is presented. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy revealed that in the case of samples implanted at 300 degrees C, extended defects (nanocracks) were formed only within similar to 50 nm region situated below the H-concentration peak in the damage band of width similar to 280 nm compared with lower implantation temperatures. This implantation temperature-dependent behavior of the microstructural damage decides the morphology of the top buckled surface. Various favorable conditions for the buckling of H-implanted surface in the form of large area exfoliation are proposed based on the present study. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
