GaN(0001) epilayers were fabricated by rf‐plasma enhanced molecular beam epitaxy on GaN templates. The templates were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on sapphire. The layers exhibited the 2 × 2 reconstruction of the Ga‐face during growth and the 1 × 1 reconstruction upon cooling. On such surfaces, Al/n‐GaN and Au/n‐GaN junctions were fabricated in‐situ by molecular beam epitaxy. X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy studies allowed us to determine n‐type Schottky barrier heights of 0.61 ± 0.06 and 0.98 ± 0.06 eV, respectively, for the two types of epitaxial junctions.
