Gallium Nitride - Synthesis - Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Commercially, GaN crystals can be grown using molecular beam epitaxy. This process can be further modified to reduce dislocation densities. First, an ion beam is applied to the growth surface in order to create nanoscale roughness. Then, the surface is polished. This process takes place in a vacuum.
