Abstract
The effects of hydrogen on GaN growth by remote plasma-enhanced metal-organ ic chemical vapor deposition (RPE-MOCVD) were investigated. Hydrogen additi on changed the gas-phase reaction in the plasma and resulted in a Ga excess growth condition by scavenging activated nitrogen species, resulting in de creased carbon incorporation in Ga-sites. Furthermore, the GaN layer had a smooth surface with Ga polarity, whereas the layer grown without hydrogen a ddition showed a facetted surface with N polarity.
