ABSTRACTHexagonal GaN films grown on non-isomorphic substrates are usually characterized by numerous threading defects which are essentially boundaries between wurtzite GaN domains where the stacking sequences do not align. One origin of these defects is irregularities on the substrate surface such as surface steps. Using Si <111> substrates and a substrate preparation procedure that makes wide atomically flat terraces, we demonstrate that reduction of these irregularities greatly improves the crystalline and luminescent quality of GaN films grown by plasma-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray rocking curve width decreases from over 1 degree to less than 20 minutes, while PL halfwidth decreases from over 15 meV to less than 10 meV.

ABSTRACTThe influence of sample orientation and polarity on the blue emission from As-doped GaN layers grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) was investigated. Arsenic doped GaN layers were grown under identical PA-MBE conditions on several types of substrates including c-plane (0001) sapphire and polar and non-polar GaN templates grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Non-polar GaN MOVPE templates were grown on aplane (11–20) sapphire and LiAlO2 (100). The orientation and polarity have a strong influence on the morphology and the optical properties of As-doped GaN layers. Strong blue emission from As-doped GaN was observed only in the case of (000–1) oriented N-polarity layers.
