Abstract
The thick films of GaN were investigated using X-ray diffraction, micro-Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The thick films of GaN were prepared on (0001) sapphire using high rate magnetron sputter epitaxy with growth rates as high as 10-60 μm/min. The width of the X-ray rocking curve ((0002) reflection) for the sample produced by this method is ∼300 arc-sec. Only the allowed modes were observed in the polarized Raman spectra. The background electron concentration is lower than 3×10 16 cm -3, which was determined from the Raman spectra. The phonon lifetime determined from Raman E 2 (2) mode was 1.6 ps, which is comparable to that of bulk single crystal GaN grown by sublimation (1.4 ps). The full-width-at-half-maximum of the near band-edge photoluminescence peak obtained at 77K is ∼100 meV.
