Abstract(in English) Effects of the substrate nitridation upon the surface morphology and the crystallinity of subsequent GaN layers were investigated for the GaN growth on sapphire using AlN or GaN buffer layer by MOCVD. When the GaN grown layers were grown on nitrided sapphire substrate, dependency of surface morphology on buffer layer thickness was observed in spite of buffer layer material. GaN films grown on thin AlN and GaN buffer layer had a hexagonal patterned surface. The surface morphology was improved by an increase of buffer layer thickness. For the AlN buffer layer, it was found that the surface morphology was suddenly changed and the crystallinity of GaN grown layer became worse with an increase of buffer layer thickness. Because of both the difference of thermal stability of the GaN grown layer in the H_2 ambient and the result of CAICISS, it was confirmed that hexagonal patterned surface was (0001^^-)N face and mirror surface was (0001)Ga face.
