Abstract
A high quality, single phase InGaN film is fabricated on a GaN/Si (111) substrate by optimizing the pulse patterned In supply with a plasma-assisted MBE technique. Compositional phase separation in InGaN is considerably suppressed. The optical and structural properties of the single phase InGaN epitaxial film are consistently confirmed by atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements. We propose a growth mechanism for single phase InGaN in terms of optimal incorporation and surface migration of In atoms.
