7. It should be noted here that the feasibility of epitaxial growth usually depends not only on the thermodynamic properties but also on the kinetic issues involved and other process details. In the magnetron sputtering case, for example, the plasma is highly confined to the sputter source side, i.e., near the target surface. The active nitrogen species are then generated and distribute mostly near the target surface (a Ga target is used in this work). This nonuniform distribution of active nitrogen would enhance production of GaN sputtered particle fluxes but not formation of SiN on the substrate side.
