The surface morphology of the GaN buffer layer grown under various pregrowth and postgrowthtreatments, such as nitridation duration, temperature-ramping rate and ambient during annealing, was analyzedby atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the nitridation time and post-annealing parameters shouldbe optimized in order to maintain the buffer layer with smooth surface for the GaN epitaxial growth. Lowerramping rate (<40oC/min) and insufficient NH3 flow will deteriorate the buffer-layer surface and yields large hexagonal three-dimensional islands.
