   Abstract:
   GaN epitaxial layers have been grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Si-face 4H-and 6H-SiC(0001)_Si substrates. The impact of the SiC surface preparation and oxide removal achieved via a Ga flash-off process followed by nitridation on the structure and properties of GaN epitaxial layers is articulated. A correlation among the SiC surface nitridation conditions, the Ga wetting layer development, the nucleation layer, and GaN crystalline properties is revealed. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
