GaN layers were grown on (001) GaAs substrates by halide vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) on either a high-quality cubic buffer layer grown by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) or a HVPE buffer layer on both sides of the substrate. Though a high-quality cubic GaN (cubic component : more than 99% for 2�m thick layer) was grown on the MOMBE buffer layer, the photoluminescence intensity was less than that of the layer grown on the HVPE buffer layer by about two orders of magnitude. This was found to be due to arsenic (As) autodoping from the back side of the GaAs substrate. The As autodoping decreased the optimum growth temperature of cubic GaN by about 50�C. The hexagonal component increased with an increase in the growth thickness, independent of the initial cubic purity of the grown layer, suggesting that influence of the As autodoping decreased with an increase in the growth thickness.
