Abstract

We present the epitaxial growth of high-quality ZnO layers by chemical vapor transport (CVT) technique on (01-12) sapphire with a ZnO buffer layer growth by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The surface of the grown ZnO epitaxial layers has atomically flats and the RMS is 0.11 nm. PL spectrum of as-grown samples exhibits two emissions originated by interactions between photon and free excitons.
