Abstract

Group III nitride films were deposited on GaAs and 6H SiC substrates by plasma-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy and characterized by high-resolution electron microscopy. The effect of plasma power during deposition and the influence of substrate orientation on the microstructure was also investigated. Electron transparent specimens were prepared in cross-section by a standard technique, involving mechanical grinding, dimpling and argon ion-milling. Selected area electron diffraction patterns and optical diffractograms were used to determine the structure and lattice constants of the nitride films.
