The GaN thin films were grown at a low substrate temperature (500°C) by radio-frequency (13.56 MHz) plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF PECVD) on glass substrates deposited with indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films. The growth of a thin buffer layer at 200°C improved the sample quality. Highly oriented polycrystalline GaN, where the (0002) planes were parallel to the substrate surface, was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement. The surface orientation was strongly dependent on the growth parameters. Surface morphology observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed the hexagonal columnar structure of the GaN thin films.
