摘要
We have studied primary and secondary slip systems in the relaxation of lattice mismatch stresses in (20 (2) over bar1) and (30 (3) over bar(1) over bar) semipolar InxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructures by analyzing the geometry of traces associated with dislocations employing cathodoluminescence, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. For (20 (2) over bar1) InxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructures, the primary relaxation is by dislocation glide on the c-plane 11 (2) over bar0(0001) slip system and secondary relaxation is by dislocation glide on inclined planes including the m-plane < 11 (2) over bar0 >{1 (1) over bar 00} slip system. For (30 (3) over bar(1) over bar) grown heterostructures non-basal slip, namely dislocation glide on the m-plane slip system, is the initial stress relaxation pathway.
