The optical and electrical properties of isoelectronic In-doped GaN films g
rown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) were investigated by X-ray
, photoluminescence (PL), Hall and Raman measurements. As a result, adequat
e In-doping quantity causes not only a reduction of yellow luminescence and
unintentional background concentration, but an enhanced mobility and decre
ase in the widths. The improved crystalline and optical qualities of GaN fi
lms may be attributed to the decrease in defects. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science
