摘要
The surface morphology of hexagonal (h-) GaN layers grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy on GaAs (100) substrates with several misorientation angles and directions was examined. The surface morphology of the h-GaN epitaxial layers was very rough on GaAs (100) exact substrates and GaAs (100) substrates misoriented toward the [111]A direction. The morphology was greatly improved on GaAs (100) substrates misoriented toward the [111]B direction, depending on the misorientation angles. The best surface morphology in our experiment was obtained on GaAs (100) substrates misoriented by 15.8 degrees toward the [111]B direction. It was also found that a Ga-rich surface was favorable for GaN growth with good morphology.
