For the development of electronic and optoelectronic devices, techniques to control the doping process are crucial. The most common impurity to achieve p-type doping is magnesium (Mg), however Mg has a large acceptor ionization energy and shows severe compensation effects. Therefore we investigate the carbon as alternative p-type dopant, whose small ionic radius fits excellently to the nitrogen site. We have grown cubic GaN doped by carbon on a semi-insulating GaAs wafer (3 inchs). Optical microscope, photoluminescence and Hall-effect were used for spatially resolved characterization Measurements by optical microscospe showed that the density of gallium-droplets increases from the center to the border. This implicate a gradient of the Ga-flux over the wafer and ensures Ga-rich growth conditions. Hall measurements carried out at room temperature (RT) gave hole concentrations and hole mobilities as high as 6.1x10¹⁸ cm⁻³ and 23.5 cm²Vs⁻¹, respectively. Photoluminescence measurements at RT showed a clear near band edge luminescence at 3.2 eV and an orange band at about 2.2 eV.
