Abstract
Growth of GaN and AlxGa1-xN thin films on 6H-SiC(0001) and Si(111) substrat es with low densities of defects using the PENDEO(TM) process and the chara cterization of the resulting materials are reported. The application of a m ask on the GaN seed structures hinders the vertical propagation of threadin g dislocations of the seed material during regrowth, but introduces. a misr egistry in the overgrowing material resulting in low quality crystal growth . This misregistry has been eliminated due to advanced processing: and the exclusion of the masking layer. The new generation of samples do not show a ny misregistry, as shown by transmission electron microscopy.
