Abstract

GaN layers with low dislocation density have been fabricated be means of facet-controlled epitaxial lateral overgrowth (FACELO) via low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (LP-MOVPE). The distribution of the dislocations in FACELO GaN was inspected by observation of InGaN growth pits. For FACELO with {11-20} facets as the first step, the dislocations concentrate only in the window region. For FACELO with {11-22} facets as the first step, the dislocations exist only in the coalescence region. The double FACELO, which was FACELO with {11-20} on FACELO with {11-22}, was demonstrated and dislocation density of less than 105 cm−2 was achieved.
