ABSTRACTThe initial stage of hydride vapor phase epitaxy GaN growth on ZnO-buffered sapphire is reported. A high supersaturation in the growth ambient was used to favor a rapid initial growth on the substrate. A subsequent step with high lateral growth rate was chosen to promote coalescence of the initial islands and provide optimal material properties. The specific mole fractions of the GaCl and NH3 control these vertical and lateral growth rates. The use of a two- step growth process in the GaN growth has led to improved and controlled morphology and high quality GaN materials have then been grown on sapphire substrate with and without ZnO buffer layers.

ABSTRACTGaN buffer layers and thick GaN layers were grown on (001) GaAs substrates by hydride vapor phase epitaxy. The ratio of cubic to hexagonal components in the grown layer was estimated from the ratio of the integrated X-ray diffraction intensities of the cubic (002) plane and hexagonal (1011) planes measured by w scan. The optimum growth conditions were thermal cleaning at 600°C, growth temperature of 500°C and thickness of 30 nm for the buffer layer, and the Will ratio of 300 for thick GaN growth at 800°C. Cubic component in the layer grown with those conditions was more than 85% and strong cubic photoluminescence emission was observed at 377 nm (3.28 eV).

The nature and impact of ZnO buffer layers on the initial stages of the hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) of GaN have been studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL). During pre-growth heating, the surface ZnO layer was found to both desorb from ZnO-coated sapphire and react with the underlying sapphire surface forming a thin ZnAl2O4 alloy layer between ZnO and sapphire surface. This ZnO-derived surface promotes the initial nucleation of the GaN and markedly improves material surface morphology, quality and growth reproducibility.

AbstractTwo different approaches to epitaxy of 4-μm-thick layers of polar GaN(0001) and semipolar GaN(10 $$\bar {1}$$ 1) on a V -shaped nanostructured Si(100) substrate with nanometer-thick SiC and AlN buffer layers have been experimentally demonstrated. The GaN(0001) layers were synthesized by hydride vapor-phase epitaxy, and GaN(10 $$\bar {1}$$ 1) layers, by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy, with the growth completed by hydride vapor-phase epitaxy. It was shown that layers of the polar GaN(0002) have a longitudinal elastic stress of –0.45 GPa and the minimum full width at half-maximum of the X-ray diffraction rocking curve ω_θ ~ 45 arcmin, whereas for the semipolar GaN(10 $$\bar {1}$$ 1), these values are –0.29 GPa and ω_θ ~ 22 arcmin, respectively. A conclusion is drawn that the combined technology of semipolar gallium nitride on a silicon (100) substrate is promising.
