Chemical Research in Chinese Universities Aims and scope

Abstract

We reported the growth of N-polar InN films on N-polar GaN/sapphire substrates by pulsed metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The crystalline quality, surface morphology, optical and electrical properties of N-polar InN films were investigated in details by varying the breaking time and trimethylindium(TMIn) duration of pulse cycle. It has been found that when the breaking time and the TMIn duration in each cycle remain at 30 and 60 s, respectively, the N-polar InN film obtained exhibits a better crystalline quality and greater optical properties. Meanwhile, the surface morphology and electrical properties of the N-polar InN films also greatly depend on the given growth conditions.
