Abstract(in English) Growth of high-quality cubic GaN layers on the (001)GaAs substrate was investigated by an rf plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. We paid a particular attention to the effect of substrate-surface cleaning/smoothing on the crystallinity and/or structural properties of GaN epitaxial layers. First, we have found that atomically flat (001)GaAs surface can be obtained by an atomic hydrogen irradiation technique. The surface of the typical atomic-hydrogen treated (001)GaAs consists of a narrow terrace with an acute-angled polygonal terrace with one monolayer step height. Further, it was found that quite high-quality cubic GaN layers can be grown at substrate-temperatures above 680℃. Typical value of FWHM of X-ray rocking curve of (002) plane for 0.3 mm-thick GaN epilayer was as small as 90 arcsec. The reason why such high quality GaN epilayers can be grown has been attributed to the quite large number of monolayer-height steps and kinks on the atomic hydrogen treated (001)GaAs surface. Because such surface will be preferable for uniform and high-density GaN nucleation on the surface at the very initial stage of epitaxial growth of GaN.
