Abstract
Cubic gallium nitride (GaN) films are analyzed with highresolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Several cubic GaN layers were grown on 3C-SiC (001) substrate by radio-frequency plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The layer thickness of the cubic GaN was varied between 75 and 505 nm. The HRXRD analysis reveals a reduction of the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of omega scans for growing layer thicknesses, which is caused by a partial compensation of defects. The Raman characterization confirms well-formed c-GaN layers. A more detailed examination of the longitudinal optical mode hints at a correlation of the FWHM of the Raman mode with the dislocation density, which shows the possibility to determine dislocation densities by Ramanspectroscopy on a micrometer scale, which is not possible by HRXRD. Furthermore, this Raman analysis shows that normalized Raman spectra present an alternative way to determine layer thicknesses of thin GaN films.
