Abstract

We report the major growth pathways of GaN metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxial growth from a TMGa/NH 3/H 2 system studied by computational simulation. It has been found that the most major growth pathway is stepwise elimination of CH 4 from TMGa:NH 3 adducts (TMGa:NH 3 → DMGaNH 2 → MMGaNH → Ga-N → Growth), and the second major growth pathway is due to GaNH 2 molecules sublimated from GaN layer. [Ga-N] n was generated by polymerization of Ga-N molecules around the susceptor heated. GaN layer was deposited on not only the substrate but also the heated reactor walls.
