Abstract

The epitaxial growth of wurtzite and zincblende GaN on (0001) sapphire and (001) Si by the Electron Cyclotron Resonance-assited Molecular Beam Epitaxy (ECR-MBE) method is discussed. We show that films can be grown in the layer-by-layer mode when growth occurs in Ga-rich regime. Surface roughening mechanisms are addressed. The similarity of photoluminescence data of Mg-doped wurtzite GaN films with those of undoped zincblende GaN films suggests that Mg doping facilitates the formation of stacking faults in the wurtzite structure which are nucleation sites for zincblende domains.
