โฆ Synopsis
GaN layers were grown on c-plane sapphire by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) using a hot tungsten filament for the ammonia (NH 3 ) precracking. A two flows horizontal growth chamber was specially designed to eliminate parasitic reactions between TMG and NH 3 and avoid TMG decomposition on the hot tungsten array located between the upper ammonia inlet and the substrate. Samples were grown under different (N 2 : H 2 ) carrier gas compositions for different filament temperatures ranging from 500 to 2500 K. The hot tungsten filament improves the efficiency of the NH 3 decomposition. The ratio of the growth rates obtained with and without the filament is about 2. This improvement is related to the increase of NH 2 radicals issuing from the decomposition of ammonia on the hot filament as predicted by thermodynamic calculations
