Abstract
ABSTRACTWe have studied GaN films grown by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on sapphire substrates using different buffer layer structures. Surface morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Optical properties were measured using photoluminescence (PL), cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy and catho-luminescence wavelength imaging (CLWI) method. It is found that the hexagonal pit-like defects in morphology are associated with the D-A/e-A transition band in the PL and CL spectra. The same correlation of morphology with optical properties is observed for the GaN films grown by selective area epitaxy (SAE). In addition, the possibility of improving optical quality by SAE is investigated. The SAE depth profile is simulated for the first time, and satisfactory results are obtained.
