Abstract

Pseudo‐Halide Vapour Phase Epitaxy (PHVPE) was utilized to grow thick carbon doped GaN layers to study their suitability as semi‐insulating (SI) substrates. With in‐situ waste gas analysis by FTIR spectroscopy, the carbon doping from the HCN precursor gas was indirectly controlled in a wide range up to 5 × 1019 cm–3. The grown layers were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS), Photoluminescence (PL), Micro‐Raman‐Spectroscopy, Hall effect measurement, and High Resolution X‐Ray Diffractometry (HRXRD). Similar to the impurity incorporation (O, Si, Mg and Zn), carbon distribution proved to be inhomogeneous, due to its increased incorporation on facets of so‐called V‐pits.
