The generation of nitrogen plasma is optimized using optical emission spectroscopy, and the plasma is dominated by excited molecular nitrogen, which emits in the range 300-420 nm. The emission intensity of the plasma significantly depends on the flow rate of nitrogen gas and heater temperature and are optimally 70 SCCM and 650 °C, respectively. A further increase in these parameters results in a decrease in the intensity of the nitrogen plasma emission. An optimal flow rate and heater temperature are used to grow InGaN thin films on c-sapphire substrates. InGaN thin films grown with a TMIn vapor concentration (xv) of 0%, 50%, and 100% at a growth temperature of 650 °C are highly oriented to the (0002) plane in a hexagonal structure. The film grown with a vapor concentration of 50% has an indium concentration of 55% and no indication of phase separation. Increasing the growth temperature above 650 °C results in a decrease in the growth rate.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Emission intensity,Heater temperatures,Hexagonal structures,Indium concentration,Molecular nitrogen,Nitrogen sources,Optimization of parameters,Vapor concentrations[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors would like to thank DP2M DIKTI and LPPM ITB for the support and partial funding of the project.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5126943[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
