Synthesis and Structure of Thin GaN Films by Radio-Frequency Sputtering
287–293 (2024)

PACS numbers: 61.05.cp, 61.72.Cc, 61.72.Mm, 68.35.Ct, 68.55.J-, 81.07.Bc, 81.15.Cd

The structure and features of thin GaN films deposited by means of the radio-frequency (RF) ion-plasma sputtering are investigated. As shown, thin GaN films are formed from nanocrystallites with average dimensions of 14.3 nm and rather low crystal-lattice stresses. The influence of both the working-gas N2 pressure and the substrate temperature on the film deposition rate is investigated

KEY WORDS: gallium nitride, thin films, RF sputtering, structure
