Abstract

Division of Materials Science and Engineering, Hanyang University, Seoul 133-791, Korea*UNIMO Photron, Seoul 137-063 Korea(Received June 10, 2014)(Revised July 7, 2014)(Accepted July 18, 2014)Abstract The hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) grown GaN samples to precisely measure the surface characteristicswas applied to a molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etching. The etching rate by molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etchingmethod was slower than that by conventional etching methods, such as phosphoric and sulfuric acid etching, which may bedue to the formation of insoluble coating layer. Therefore, the molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etching is a betterefficient method for the evaluation of etch pits density. The grown GaN single crystals were characterized by using X-raydiffraction (XRD) and X-ray rocking curve (XRC). The etching characteristics and surface morphologies were studied byscanning electron microscopy (SEM). From etching results, the optimum etching condition that the etch pits were wellindependently separated in space and clearly showed their shape, was 410
