The melt-back etching effect of the residual Ga in the reactor for GaN grown on (111) Si

The reaction between gallium (Ga) and silicon (Si), termed melt-back etching, greatly deteriorates the quality of GaN grown on a Si substrate. In this paper, the mechanism of melt-back etching was investigated layer-by-layer in a GaN/AlN/Si system. It is found that the environment of the reactor pla...
