Abstract
The growth of GaN and In x Ga 1−x N on c -plane sapphire substrates was carried out by molecular beam epitaxy using NH 3 . In situreflection high-energy electron diffraction(RHEED) was used to monitor the growth process. Oscillations of the specular beam intensity were observed during both GaN and In x Ga 1−x N deposition. This allows determining in real time the composition of In x Ga 1−x N alloys. The effects of the growth temperature and the Ga flux on the In incorporation rate were investigated. The critical thickness for InGaN islanding as a function of In mole fraction is also easily deduced from RHEED experiments.Keywords
