Growth of free-standing non-polar GaN on LiAlO2 substrates by Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy

A hydride vapor phase epitaxy, (HVPE) was designed to grow nonpolar GaN. LiAlO2 single crystal grown by Czochralski (Cz) method in our lab was used as the substrate. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the GaN epilayer¡¦s orientation and surface morphology. At the first part, we used the c-plane sapphire as substrate and make sure that our HVPE reactive system is working. And the second part, we used LiAlO2 substrate to grow non-polar GaN substrate. After the growth, GaN was separated from LiAlO2 substrate and become free-standing. We found that as-grown GaN has both c-plane (0001) and m-plane (10-10) orientations. After some improvements, we got a nonpolar GaN substrate. But the m-plane (10-10) GaN grains are random. The photo-luminescence¡]PL¡^showed that the light emissive quality of these two GaN thick film are well. We will keep improving the design of our HVPE.
