Homoepitaxial growth of GaN by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) was systematically evaluated using nominal c ‐plane and various vicinal GaN(0001) wafers: 1°, 2°, 4°, and 8° offcut in the directions of 〈10 $\bar 1$ 0〉 and 〈11 $\bar 2$ 0〉. It was found that a hillock morphology formed on the nominal c ‐plane substrate whereas smooth epi films were formed on vicinal substrates. Silicon‐doped films showed similarly improved surface morphology with offcut angle, however Mg‐doped films exhibited a rougher microstructure. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
