Vapor Phase Epitaxial Growth and Properties of GaN

GaN의 기상성장과 특성

A hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method is performed to prepare the GaN thin films on c-plane sapphire substrate. The full-width at half maximum of double crystal X-ray rocking curves from 20$\mu\textrm{m}$-thick GaN was 576 arcsecond. The photoluminescence spectrum measured 10 K shows the hallow bound exciton (I$_2$) line and weak donor-acceptor peak, however, there was not observed deep donor-acceptor pair recombination indicate the GaN crystals prepared in this study are of high purity and high crystalline quality. The GaN layer is n-type conducting with electron mobility of 72 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V$.$sec and with carrier concentration of 6 x 10$\^$18/cm/sup-3/.
