Abstract(in English) We have investigated the GaN growth by electron-cyclotron-resonance plasma-excited molecular beam epitaxy (ECR-MBE) using hydrogen-nitrogen mixed gas plasma. By addition of hydrogen to nitrogen plasma, growth rate of GaN was drastically increased. From the analyses of optical emission spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectroscopy, NH_x families were generated in the mix gas plasma, which contributed to the increase of growth rate. The structural characterization of GaN layers was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The GaN layers grown with hydrogen showed three dimensional columnar structures. Taking into account the existences of Ga- and N-polarity regions, the growth mechanism of the columnar structure in the GaN layer grown with hydrogen is proposed. In order to verify this mechanism, we have carried out the GaN growth with hydrogen on sapphire after the growth of GaN layer by ECR-MBE (GaN template). The growth rate of GaN layer on GaN template with N-polarity was decreased by addition of hydrogen to nitrogen plasma. No columnar structure of GaN was appeared from the observation of TEM. It was considered that the growth mode of GaN with hydrogen was strongly influenced by the polarity of the GaN surface.
