Abstract

Gallium nitride (GaN) films have been grown on sapphire(0001) and 6H-SiC(0001) substrates without a buffer layer. Micro-structural analysis was performed by TEM investigations. Under identical experimental conditions, the GaN films showed different polar characteristics when deposited onto different substrates. Various techniques, such as convergent beam electron diffraction and chemical etching were employed to determine the polarity of the GaN films. The present paper implies that films grown by laser induced reactive epitaxy (LIRE) show the same dependence of polarity on substrates and growth conditions as layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy.
