BP epitaxial layer has been successfully grown on silicon(100) substrates w
ith a dimension of 10 x 10 mm(2). The layer obtained is markedly flat and c
ontinuous. The thickness was 4.56 mu m during 2 h growth process. To elucid
ate the possibility to grow a zinc blende GaN layer on BP, epitaxial growth
of GaN has been carried out. A 100% cubic GaN was successfully obtained. (
