摘要
We have studied the structural anisotropic characteristics of epitaxially laterally overgrown (ELOG) a-plane GaN epilayer on r-plane sapphire substrate with two different SiO2-stripe orientations using metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The SiO2 stipe patterns were made along [0001] and crystographilic orientations of GaN which correspond to and directions of r-plane sapphire, respectively. The ELOG a-plane GaN on [0001]-stripe orientation reveals symmetric morphology in the extent of lateral overgrowth compared to that grown on -oriented stripe. Threading dislocation and basal stacking fault densities in wing region were similar to 8 x 10(7) cm(-2) and similar to 5.2 x 10(4) cm(-1), respectively. Raman measurement of the fully coalesced a-plane GaN indicated a compressive strain of about 0.39 Gpa in the window region.
