摘要
GaN films were deposited on Si (I 11) substrates by middle-frequency magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction revealed preferential GaN (0 0 0 2) orientation normal to the substrate surface for all the films deposited. The diffraction intensity and N contents were found to depend strongly on the total gas pressure. Good quality films were only obtained at pressures in the range of 0.4-1.0 Pa. Little diffraction of GaN (0 0 0 2) could be observed either at total pressures below 0.4 Pa or above 1.0 Pa. The GaN films produced under the optimized conditions have an N:Ga ratio of 1: 1 as determined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V.
