Abstract
Effects of the growth temperature on morphological and microstructural evolution of a-plane GaN films grown on r-plane sapphires by metal organic chemical vapor deposition are investigated by atomic force microscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). Surface morphology, structural quality and related impurity incorporation are very sensitive to the growth temperature. A significant difference of yellow luminescence is observed and attributed to the incorporation of carbon into GaN films, which is confirmed by SIMS analysis. Our results show that the sample with triangular-pit morphology has significantly higher concentrations of oxygen than the other sample with pentagon-like pit morphology, which is induced by the existence of an N-face in triangular pits.
