Preferred orientation GaN films are deposited on freestanding thick diamond films by electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced metal organic chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PEMOCVD). The TMGa and N2 are applied as precursors and different N2 flux is used to achieve high quality GaN films. The influence of N2 flux on the properties of GaN films is systematically investigated by x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and Hall Effect Measurement (HL). The results show that the high quality GaN films deposited at the proper N2 flux display a fine structural and electrical property and the Ga/N atomic ratio plays an important role in the electrical property of GaN films.

High quality GaN films are deposited on freestanding thick diamond films by electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced metal organic chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PEMOCVD). The characteristics of GaN films were investigated by x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The high quality GaN films with small surface roughness of 8.3 nm and high c-orientation are successfully achieved at the optimized nitriding time with the diamond substrate. These properties of GaN films with small surface smoothness and high c-orientation are well used as piezoelectric films for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices.

High-quality GaN films are deposited on diamond films using an electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced metal organic chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PEMOCVD) under the condition of the proper Trimethyl gallium (TMGa) flux. The influence of TMGa flux on the properties of GaN films is systematically investigated by x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results show that the high quality GaN films with small surface roughness and high c-orientation are successfully achieved at the optimized flux. The most significant improvements in morphological and structural properties of GaN films are obtained by using a proper TMGa flux

The progress of InN semiconductors is still in its infancy compared to GaN-based devices and materials. Herein, InN thin films were grown on self-standing diamond substrates using low-temperature electron cyclotron resonance plasma-enhanced metal organic chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PEMOCVD) with inert N2 used as a nitrogen source. The thermal conductivity of diamond substrates makes the as-grown InN films especially attractive for various optoelectronic applications. Structural and electrical properties which depend on deposition temperature were systematically investigated by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Hall effect measurement. The results indicated that the quality and properties of InN films were significantly influenced by the deposition temperature, and InN films with highly c-axis preferential orientation and surface morphology were obtained at optimized temperatures of 400 °C. Moreover, their electrical properties with deposition temperature were studied, and their tendency was correlated with the dependence on micro- structure and morphology.

High quality GaN films have been successfully grown on multi-AlN/sapphire templates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition system. The Hall mobility and the carrier concentration of 720 cm2/Vs and 6.7x1016 cm-3 at 300K, respectively, along with low dislocation density of 4.1x109 cm-2 have been achieved. The X-ray rocking curve full-width at half-maximum were 160 and 290 arcsec for (0004) and (20-24) reflection planes also obtained, respectively. Besides that, the atomic force microscopy images showed smooth surface morphology and a higher intensity near the band edge was also observed by photoluminescence measurement result.

Highly-quality GaN films were deposited on diamond substrate using an electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced metal organic chemical vapor deposition system (ECR-PEMOCVD) at the proper temperature. The source of gallium is Trimethyl gallium (TMGa) and N2, and the influence of temperature on the properties of GaN films was investigated systematically by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), room temperature photoluminescence (PL), respectively. The dense and uniformed GaN films with highly c-axis preferred orientation were successfully achieved on free-standing diamond substrates under optimized deposition temperature of 400 °C.

In this work, In2O3 thin films were grown on (111) yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at different temperature. It is found that samples grown at low temperature showed lower residual stress but higher mosaicity while high growth temperatures could also cause deterioration in crystal quality due to increasing lattice mismatch. To obtain high quality In2O3 film with low residual strain, a 30-nm thick layer grown at 530 °C was introduced as buffer layer, considering both stress relaxation and crystalline mosaicity. By using two-step growth method, a 400 nm-thick, high quality, near-strain-free In2O3 thin film with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of (222) diffraction peaks being as narrow as 648 arcsec was successfully obtained.
