AbstractA new approach to grow thick GaN layers by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) is described. Selective growth is carried out at the beginning of growth. The coalescence of selectively grown facet structures makes it possible to achieve a flat surface over the entire substrate. As a result, crack-free GaN films with mirror-like surfaces are successfully grown even to a thickness of about 100 μm on a 2-inch-diameter sapphire substrate. The extended defect density is as low as 6×107 cm−2. The reduction mechanism for dislocation is discussed based on TEM observation. The high optical properties of FIELO GaN are confirmed by 5 K photoluminescence and reflectance measurements.

We report characterization of the red emission band in hydride vapor phase epitaxial GaN using cathodoluminescence spectroscopy and imaging and time-resolved photoluminescence. The observed properties of the emission are consistent with recombination of excitons bound at close donor-acceptor pairs. The time evolution of the emission signal during electron beam irradiation supports the association of the red emission with charged centres.

AbstractThe structural quality of GaN films grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Films were grown up to 40μm on sapphire with either a GaC1 pretreatment prior to growth or on a ZnO buffer layer. Dislocation densities were found to decrease with increasing film thickness. This is attributed to the mixed nature of the defects present in the film which enabled dislocation annihilation. The thickest film had a defect density of 5×107 dislocations/cm2.
