ABSTRACTWe have used an ultrahigh vacuum scanning electron microscope to carry out cross sectional secondary electron imaging, cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, and cathodoluminescence imaging on GaN grown on sapphire by hydride vapor phase epitaxy. These measurements provide evidence for deep level defects highly localized at the GaN, sapphire interface as well as defects extending into both the semiconductor film and the substrate. The different spatial distributions of these radiative defects provide information on the physical origin of these electrically active features.

ABSTRACTGallium nitride (GaN) films have been grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) in a vertical reactor design. We report on GaN growth directly on sapphire using a GaCl surface pretreatment. The electrical properties of these films compare favorably with the highest values reported in the literature for GaN. Specifically, a room temperature Hall mobility as high as 540 cm2 /V-s, with a corresponding carrier concentration of 2×1017 cm−3, have been attained. Additionally, the vesical reactor design has assisted in reducing nonuniformities in both film thickness as well as in transport properties due to depletion effects, as compared with horizontal designs. The dislocation density in these films has been determined by plan-view transmission electron microscopy to be ∼3×l08 cm−2 .Photoluminescence spectra obtained at 2 K show intense, sharp, near-bandedge emission with minimal deep level emissions. Stimulated emission has been observed in these films, utilizing a nitrogen laser pump source (λ=337.1 nm) with a threshold pump power of ∼0.5 MW/cm2 . These results suggest that HVPE is viable for the growth of high-quality nitride films, particularly for the subsequent homoepitaxial overgrowth of device structures by other growth methods such as OMVPE and MBE.
