   Abstract:
   The effects of sapphire nitridation temperature on the properties of GaN grown by radiofrequency (rf) plasma assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) were discussed. It was found that the optical and structural characteristics of GaN epitaxial layers were dramatically improved at a nitridation temperatutre of 200 °C. The analysis showed that the nitridation temperature was a crucial parameter in improvement of the optical and structural quality of GaN epitaxial layers.
