The GaN thick films were deposited on (0001) sapphire using ultrahigh-rate magnetron sputter epitaxy with typical growth rates as high as 10–60 μm/min. The width of the x-ray rocking curve from the (0002) reflection for the sample produced by this technique is ∼300 arcsec, which is unprecedented for GaN produced by a sputtering-type process. Our recent sample shows an x-ray rocking curve width of 240 arcsec. Only allowed modes were observed in the polarized Raman spectra. The background free carrier concentration is lower than 3×1016 cm−3. The phonon lifetime of the Raman E2(2) mode of the sputtered GaN was comparable to that of bulk single crystal GaN grown by sublimation. The quality of the film was uniform across the wafer. The film was thermally stable upon annealing in N2 ambient. The x-ray and Raman analyses revealed that the sputtered GaN films are of high crystalline quality.}, number={10}, journal={APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Park, M and Maria, JP and Cuomo, JJ and Chang, YC and Muth, JF and Kolbas, RM and Nemanich, RJ and Carlson, E and Bumgarner, J}, year={2002}, month={Sep}, pages={1797–1799} }

It is divided into three sections: (i) structural properties, (ii) optical properties and (iii) electrical properties. The first section includes X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), Rutherford Backscattering (RBS), emission channeling (EC) and perturbed γγ-angular correlation (PAC) measurements on GaN implanted with different ions and doses at different temperatures as a function of annealing temperature. The structural changes upon implantation and the respective recovery upon annealing will be discussed. Several standard and new annealing procedures will be presented and discussed. The second section describes mainly photoluminescence (PL) studies, however, the results will be discussed with respect to Raman and ellipsometry studies performed by other groups. We will show that the PL-signal is very sensitive to the processes occurring during implantation and annealing. The results of Hall and C–V measurements on implanted GaN are presented in Section 3. We show and discuss the difficulties in achieving electrical activation. However, optical and electrical properties are both a result of the structural changes upon implantation and annealing. Each section will be critically discussed with respect to the existing literature, and the main conclusions are drawn from the interplay of the results obtained from the different techniques used/reviewed.}, number={5}, journal={PHYSICS REPORTS-REVIEW SECTION OF PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Ronning, C and Carlson, EP and Davis, RF}, year={2001}, month={Sep}, pages={349–385} }

Selective lateral growth is forced to initiate from the (112̄0) GaN sidewalls of etched GaN seed forms by incorporating a silicon nitride seed mask and employing the SiC substrate as a pseudomask. Coalescence over and between the seed forms was achieved. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that all vertically threading defects stemming from the GaN/AlN and AlN/SiC interfaces are contained within the seed forms and a substantial reduction in the dislocation density of the laterally grown GaN. Atomic force microscopy analysis of the (112̄0) face of discrete pendeoepitaxial structures revealed a root mean square roughness of 0.98 Å. The pendeoepitaxial layer photoluminescence band edge emission peak was observed to be 3.454 eV and is blueshifted by 12 meV as compared to the GaN seed layer.}, number={2}, journal={Applied Physics Letters}, author={Linthicum, K.

The growth of GaN on AlN at low temperatures (650–750 °C) occurs via a Stranski–Krastanov 2D→3D type mechanism with the transition to 3D growth occurring at ≈10–15 Å. The mechanism changes to Frank van der Merwe (FM)/layer-by-layer growth above 800 °C. The growth of AlN on GaN occurred via a FM layer-by-layer mechanism within the 750–900 °C temperature range investigated. We propose a model based on the interaction of ammonia and atomic hydrogen with the GaN/AlN surfaces which indicates that the surface kinetics of hydrogen desorption and ammonia decomposition are the factors that determine the GaN growth mechanism.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS}, author={King, SW and Carlson, EP and Therrien, RJ and Christman, JA and Nemanich, RJ and Davis, RF}, year={1999}, month={Nov}, pages={5584–5593} }

The absence of low angle grain boundaries invariably extant in GaN films deposited on sapphire substrates and the relatively low dislocation densities and absence of stacking faults and twinning in the implantation regions of the films make them the best materials available for the study of implantation doping. In our initial study, 160 keV Si (n-type) and 120 keV Mg (p-type) with projected range ∼ 110 nm and fluences of 1e14, 5e14 and 1e15 cm−2 were implanted at both room temperature and 550°C. The samples were characterized by Rutherford backscattering (RBS)/channeling and photoluminescence (PL) techniques before and after implantation. RBS/channeling results of virgin and as-implanted GaN for 120 keV Mg at 550°C and 1e15 cm−2 fluence showed that even at this comparatively high dose the implantation damage is very little. However the characteristic PL signal which was present before the implantation disappeared even for the lowest dose (1e14 cm−2). These samples were annealed in a rapid thermal annealing furnace at 1000°C, and damage recovery and dopant activation were measured by PL, RBS/channeling and Cross-Sectional TEM (XTEM).}, journal={NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION B-BEAM INTERACTIONS WITH MATERIALS AND ATOMS}, author={Parikh, N and Suvkhanov, A and Lioubtchenko, M and Carlson, E and Bremser, M and Bray, D and Davis, R and Hunn, J}, year={1997}, month={May}, pages={463–466} }
