In this work, we report on the growth of GaN films on Porous Silicon (PS) substrates by the Metalorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) technique. The growth of GaN has been controlled by in-situ laser reflectometry. The growth rate was found to depend on growth temperature. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns show that the epitaxial films correspond to that of GaN. The morphology and density of the nano-scale GaN layers were determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. These first results show that PS is a promising candidate for obtaining GaN films.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
