The homoepitaxial growth of GaN layers has been achieved for the first time. Bulk GaN single crystals which have been used as a substrate have been grown from diluted solution of atomic nitrogen in the liquid gallium at 1600°C and at nitrogen pressure of about 15-20 kbar. It is shown that a terrace growth of GaN epitaxial layer has been realized. The high quality of the GaN film has been confirmed by luminescence measurements. The analysis of donor-acceptor and exciton luminescence is presented.
