N2 - It is shown that the nitridation conditions of the silicon substrate are not less important than the structure of the buffer layer in influencing the crack formation in GaN-on-Si layers grown by ammonia-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (NH3-MBE). Furthermore, the morphology of the GaN layers is independent of the buffer layer structure, but is determined by the GaN growth conditions. Nevertheless, the use of step-graded AlGaN buffer layers instead of a buffer layer with an inserted AlN layer leads to a higher crystalline quality of the crack-free GaN layers and to lower residual tensile stresses in them.
