摘要
Propagation of threading screw dislocations (TSDs) during hybrid growth, combined with TSD conversion by solution growth and bulk growth by physical vapor transport, has been investigated for 4 degrees off and 15 degrees off (000 (1) over bar) C-face seeds. The converted defects on basal planes (BP-defects) are able to be eliminated by continuing to guide them on basal planes with a 15 degrees off seed, while BP-defects revert to TSDs with a 4 degrees off seed. The difference in the BP-defects propagation is discussed based on the elastic energy balance between TSDs and BP-defects in the unit growth thickness for higher off-angle seeds.
