Abstract

We have investigated the feasibility of depositing GaN, AIN and InN from nitrogen plasmas by electron cyclotron resonance-metal organic molecular beam epitaxy (ECR-MOMBE). Growth rate, morphology, and resistivity were evaluated as function of growth temperature and group IB flux. It was found that stoichiometric materials could be deposited at reasonable growth rates on either GaAs or sapphire substrates. Low contact resistance, ∼5 × 10−7 Ω-cm2, can be obtained on In due to the high carrier concentrations, 1020 cm−3 obtained in this material.
