The aim of this paper is to expand the body of knowledge about the silicon doped gallium nitride thin films deposited on different substrates. The physical properties of the Si doped GaN thin films deposited on the glass and polyethylene terephthalate substrates by thermionic vacuum arc which is plasma production technique were investigated. Thermionic vacuum arc method is a method of producing pure material plasma. The Si doped GaN thin films were analyzed using the following methods and the devices: atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction device, spectroscopic ellipsometer and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy detector. The produced Si doped GaN thin films are in the (113) orientation. The thicknesses and refractive index were determined by using Cauchy dispersion model. Surface morphologies of produced thin films are homogenous and low roughness. Our analysis showed that the thermionic vacuum arc method present important advantages for optical and industrial applications.

In this paper, GaN thin film production was realized by thermionic vacuum arc (TVA), a plasma deposition technique, for the first time. We present a new deposition mechanism for GaN thin films with a very short production time. Microstructure properties of samples were analyzed by X-ray diffractometry. The peak at 2θ = 72.88° corresponding to GaN (0004) was detected in XRD spectra. The surface morphology of the deposited GaN films was analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The surface properties of the produced samples are quite different. The average roughness values were determined to be 0.48 nm for GaN/PET and 1.17 nm for GaN/glass. The optical properties (i.e., refractive index and reflection) were determined using an interferometer. Moreover, the obtained optical data were compared with bulk GaN materials. The refractive indexes were measured as 2.2, 3,0 and 2,5 for the GaN/glass, GaN/PET and bulk GaN, respectively. The transparencies of the different GaN-coated substrates are nearly the same. The obtained band gap values were measured in the energy range of 3.3-3.5 eV. TVA is a novel non-reactive plasma technique for the generation of metal organic thin films. The main advantage of this method is its fast deposition rate without any loss in the quality of the films.
