ABSTRACTGaN films were grown on c-plane (0001), a-plane (1120) and r-plane (1102) sapphire substrates by the ECR-assisted MBE method. The films were grown using a two-step growth process, in which a GaN buffer is grown first at relatively low temperatures and the rest of the film is grown at higher temperatures. RHEED studies indicate that this growth method promotes lateral growth and leads to films with smooth surface morphology. The epitaxial relationship to the substrate, the crystalline quality and the surface morphology were investigated by RHEED, X-ray diffraction and SEM studies.
