Abstract

Cyclo-trigallazane, [H2GaNH2]3, is known to form bulk powders of the new cubic phase of gallium nitride upon pyrolysis. An explanation for this unusual example where the molecular structure of the precursor controls the crystal structure of the solid state product is presented. In a hot-wall atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor, arsine was found to react with TMAG to form films of polycrystalline GaAs which were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The growth rates for smooth films was 1-4 μm/h. In a low pressure CVD reactor, elemental arsenic vapor was also found to react with the TMAG to give GaAs thin films.
