Abstract
A new route in organometallic chemical vapour deposition (OMCVD) of GaN layers is the single-source precursor method. Molecular beam sampling using quadrupole mass spectrometry and resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (REMPI-TOF-MS) has been used to show that gallium atoms and gallium-nitrogen compounds, like HGaNx (x=2-6) and GaNx (x=2-6), appear in the boundary layer of a sapphire substrate during thermal decomposition of (N3)2Ga[CH2CH2CH2N(CH 3)2] in the temperature range 400-1000 K. The temperature dependence of the species is shown to be directly correlated with the growth rate of GaN layers.
