Abstract

In organometallic vapor phase epitaxial growth of group III nitrides on sapphire, insertion of a low temperature interlayer is found to improve crystalline quality of AlxGalxN layer with x from 0 to 1. Here the effects of the low temperature deposited GaN or AIN interlayers on the structural quality of group III nitrides is discussed.
