Horizontal Defects Parallel to the Interface in GaN Pyramids

The performance of III-V nitride-based microelectronic and optoelectronic devices relates directly to the micro structure of these materials. Selective lateral overgrowth has been exploited to produce GaN heteroepitaxial films with low defect density [1]. Si is a promising substrate due to its low cost, large size, and the potential for the intergration of GaN-based optoelectronic devices with Si-based electronics. It is also possible to produce high-quality GaN material for devices using lateral overgrowth on a Si substrate [2]. At present, only limited information on the defect structure in GaN heteroepitaxial films grown by selective lateral growth is available, especially those grown on Si substrate. Recent work [3] on GaN pyramids grown on (111) Si substrates by this method has shown that in the center, or core, of the GaN pyramid (at and above the window area) dislocations thread through the pyramid nearly perpendicular to the substrate surface and the dislocation density is quite high.
