M. Razeghi et al., STRUCTURAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF GAN THIN-FILMS ANDGAN-BASED HETEROSTRUCTURES GROWN ON SAPPHIRE SUBSTRATES, Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 30, 1997, pp. 1-6
The primary cause for x-ray rocking curve broadening in epitaxial GaN
grown on basal plane sapphire is determined by studying the reciprocal
space maps of both symmetric and asymmetric propagation of threding d
islocations in GaN/AlGaN-based heterostructures is studied through cro
ss sectional transmission electron microscopy. A density of screw and
mixed dislocations less than 10(7) cm(-2) in these heterostructures is
achieved.
