摘要: The crystal quality of a-plane GaN film was successfully improved by using trenched epitaxial lateral overgrowth (TELOG) GaN. Not only the threading dislocation density but also difference anisotropic in-plane strain between orthogonal axes can be mitigated TELOG. low investigated transmission electron microscopy estimated to 3×107 cm–2 on N-face wing. According results μ-PL and CL, dislocations are strongly non-radiative center in film. Finally, we concluded that a narrower stripped seeds deeper trenches etched into surface sapphire could derive better (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
