Homoepitaxial layers of GaN were grown by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition on single crystals obtained by high-pressure, high-temperature technology. For each metalorganic chemical vapour deposition run, four samples were placed, (00.1) and (00.1) faces of the Mg-doped insulating and undoped highly-conductive substrates. The layers were examined using X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and far-infrared reflectivity. It was found that the (00.1) easier incorporates donors resulting in higher free-electron concentrations in the layers grown on these sides of the crystals, both, undoped and Mg-doped.
