The variation of growth parameters for Si-doped InN NWs reveals a nonmonotonic morphology dependence and an extended growth window towards higher substrate temperatures. In addition, the NW density is reduced and the size homogeneity improved for high Si doping levels. In contrast, no impact on the morphology of the InN NWs is observed under Mg-doping. Nevertheless, indications of a successful incorporation of the Mg-acceptors are found by optical and electrical studies. The non-selective growth of GaN NWs at high substrate temperatures is investigated for various Ga-fluxes and substrate temperatures. Furthermore, the decomposition of GaN NWs is observed with an investigation of the NW morphology and the Ga desorption during growth. The nucleation on the mask (Si) and the substrate (AlN) is investigated with a new approach to define a growth window for the SAG. Within this window, the influence of the substrate temperature, growth time, Ga- and N-flux on the SAG is investigated by a separate variation for each parameter. An optimal set of growth parameters with respect to a homogeneous NW morphology is obtained. The growth on substrates with different mask types, mask materials and substrate materials reveals a novel nucleation mechanism. The asymmetric nucleation in the holes of the mask could be attributed to a local increase in the Ga-supply by blocking the impinging Ga-flux at the vertical sidewalls. The diffusion of Ga-atoms on the substrate and the NW is finally investigated. A descriptive model is proposed and the fit to experimental data reveals a diffusion length of 400 nm. The limitation of the axial growth is explained by the diffusion length of Ga atoms on the NW sidewall and a diffusion length of approximately 500 nm is obtained. Zugriffsstatistik:
