Abstract

We have demonstrated growth of crystalline GaN on Si substrates by using, for the first time, a novel inorganic precursor Cl2GaN3 and ultra-high-vacuum chemical vapor deposition techniques. Cross-sectional electron microscopy of the highly conformal films showed columnar growth of wurtzite GaN while Auger and RBS oxygen- and carbon-resonance spectroscopies showed that the films were pure and highly homogeneous. In addition to the high growth rates of 70–500 Å per minute, the low deposition temperature of 550–700 °C, and the nearly perfect GaN stoichiometry that we obtain, another notable advantage of our method is that it provides a carbon-free growth environment which is compatible with p-doping processes.
