摘要
In this paper we report that, in addition to dislocations, two other types of defects are observed in high quality GaN thin films. These defects have a filamentary nature, are oriented along the < 0001 > direction. and may not be easily distinguished from the pure dislocations. Using a combination of conventional electron microscopy with convergent beam electron diffraction techniques we show that one of these types of dislocations consist of nanopipes, which are coreless dislocations with Burgers vectors < 0001 >. The other type of observed defects consist of inversion domains with [<000(1)over bar>] orientation within the [0001] matrix. The origin of the inversion domains and nanopipes is discussed.
