摘要: GaN films grown by electron-cyclotron resonance plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy were studied transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Two sets of compared that under identical conditions except for the ratio Ga to N flux. Films with a 30% higher (A films) found contain inversion domains (IDs). No IDs in lower (B films), but instead zinc-blende was near film substrate interface. A narrower XRD rocking curve width along (0002) direction broader asymmetric (1102) axis B films.
