Abstract
Growth of GaN on sapphire (0001) substrates by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) was studied using triethyl gallium (TEGa) and rf-plasma excited active nitrogen. A series of samples were grown under various TEGa flow rates while growth temperature (800 °C) and nitrogen supply were fixed. At a very low TEGa flow rate, the grown layer was polycrystalline. With increasing TEGa flow rate, the dominant polytype of the grown layer changed from hexagonal GaN (h-GaN) to cubic GaN (c-GaN). From the dependence of growth rate on TEGa flow rates, it was revealed that a Ga-stabilized growth condition results in the growth of c-GaN. By increasing growth time, the c-GaN composition became larger, indicating preferential growth of c-GaN.
