The influence of the group V/III molar precursor ratio on the surface morphological and electrical properties of In(0.65)Ga(0.35)N epilayers has been investigated. The layers studied have been grown by high-pressure chemical vapor deposition, a growth technique that utilizes the reactor pressure as an additional processing parameter. The surface morphology analysis revealed that with the increasing V/III molar precursor ratio, the surface morphology degrades with increasing surface roughness and decreasing average grain areas. The free carrier concentration in the In0.65Ga0.35N epilayers increased with the increased group V/III molar precursor ratios in the 700-3000 range. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
