Dislocation reduction in GaN grown on stripe patterned r-plane sapphire substrates
Extended defect reduction in GaN can be achieved via direct growth on stripe patterned (11¯02) r-plane sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The striped mesa is along [112¯0] with two etched sides in {0001} and {11¯01} faces. GaN grown on both etched facets in epitaxy exhib...

Zusammenfassung: | Extended defect reduction in GaN can be achieved via direct growth on stripe patterned (11¯02) r-plane sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The striped mesa is along [112¯0] with two etched sides in {0001} and {11¯01} faces. GaN grown on both etched facets in epitaxy exhibit different crystallographic relationships with sapphire substrate which are (11¯02)sapphire‖(112¯0)GaN and [112¯0]sapphire‖[1¯100]GaN, and (0001)sapphire‖(0001)GaN and [112¯0]sapphire‖[1¯100]GaN, respectively. The dislocation densities can be significantly reduced through epitaxial growth on the inclined lateral faces of mesas. Dislocation density in the order of ∼107cm−2 can be achieved in the tilted GaN. |
