Abstract

We report the growth and photoluminescence characterization of GaN grown on different substrates and under different growth conditions using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The deep-level yellow luminescence centered at around 2.2eV is attributed to native defect, most possibly the gallium vacancy. The yellow luminescence can be substantially reduced By growing GaN under Ga-rich condition or doping GaN with Ge or Mg.
