Depth profiles of C-, O-, Al-, Si-, Ga- and GaN- for (a) +c GaN and (b) -c GaN films of 1µm in thickness. The intensities of impurities normalized to the GaN- count are listed at the bottom of each figure. The values normalized to the Ga+Ga+ ion in the brackets are evaluated from depth profiles using and O2+ primary beam [after Ref. 135]. The Al, C and O impurities were more readily incorporated into -c GaN films.
