N-polar GaN films were grown by MOCVD on (0001) sapphire substrates. Wet etching experiments using KOH solutions were carried out to verify the polarities of the GaN films. The influence of the nucleation layer growth time on the properties of N-polar GaN films was studied by means of XRD and PL. The results show that the GaN sample of nucleation layer growth time of 300 seconds has the best crystal quality and optical property. Finally
the strain state of the N-polar GaN samples was studied by means of Raman scattering.
