Abstract

Thick GaN layers deposited in HVPE system on composite substrates made on sapphire substrates in Metalorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) system have been investigated. The following substrates were used: (00.1) sapphire substrates with AlN, AlN/GaN and GaN thin layers. The crystallographic structure and the quality of the epitaxial thick GaN layers were determined. Comparison of the three types of thick layers was performed. Significant differences were observed. It was found that thick GaN deposited on the simplest MOVPE‐GaN/sapphire composite substrate has comparable structure's properties as the other, more complicated. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
