Abstract

The effect of growth temperature and precursor flows on the doping level and surface morphology of Ge-doped GaN layers was researched. The results show that germanium is more readily incorporated at low temperature, high growth rate and high V/III ratio, thus revealing a similar behavior to what was previously observed for indium. V-pit formation can be blocked at high temperature but also at low V/III ratio, the latter of which however causing step bunching.
