Abstract
The influence of surface preparation and off-cut of 4H-SiC substrates on morphological and structural properties of GaN grown by low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy was studied. Substrate etching has an impact on the surface roughness of epilayers and improves its crystal quality. The GaN layers were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and high-resolution X-ray diffractometry (HRXRD) measurements. It was observed that on-axis 4H-SiC is most suitable for GaN epitaxy and that substrate etching improves the surface morphology of epilayer.
