Abstract

The parasitic reactions between ammonia and commonly used alkyls have been studied in a horizontal OMVPE reactor. The results indicate that parasitic reactions between TMA1 and NH3 is severe, leading to the necessity to grow A1N at low reactor pressure. On the other hand, parasitic reactions between TMGa+NH3 and TMIn+NH3 are not significant and it is possible to grow GaN and GaInN at any reactor pressure.
