Abstract
Real-time synchrotron grazing-incidence x-ray fluorescence is employed to study indium adsorption on the GaN (0001) surface under typical process conditions for InGaN metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. An indium condensation boundary is mapped as a function of trimethylindium pressure, substrate temperature, and carrier gas composition. Below the condensation boundary, indium surface coverage reaches a maximum of ∼14 ML. The addition of 8% H2 to the carrier gas is found to have a significant effect on both condensation and adsorption of indium.
