GaN films were grown by Plasma Assisted MBE with growth rates up to 2.1 µm/h.
Growth rates well correlate with the optical signal emitted by the nitrogen plasma.
Optical and structural properties of GaN films are not sensitive with growth rate.
Impurity and point defects concentrations have been studied.
GaN/AlGaN QWs on GaN grown at low and high rates exhibit similar optical properties.
