Abstract
In this work, we present the low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and characterization of the lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) of GaN films on both sapphire and silicon substrates. The structural, optical and electrical properties are discussed. Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction were used to demonstrate the high quality of the LEO material. Deep level transient spectroscopy was also used to study the electrical properties of these materials. For LEO on sapphire, deep levels at 0.19, 0.30 and 0.45 eV below the conduction band were found, while for LEO on silicon, deep levels at 0.45 and 0.60 eV below the conduction were also found. The capture cross sections for these levels were 4.88e-18, 7.83e-17 and 1.5e-15 cm-2 for sapphire and 2.59e-14 and 1.35e-15 cm2 for silicon, respectively.
