Paper Abstract

The behavior of threading dislocations and stacking faults were investigated in a (1-101) GaN grown on a patterned (001)Si substrate by selective metal-organic-vapor-phase-epitaxy with an AlN buffer layer. Cross sectional transmission electron microscopy images showed that threading dislocations are generated at the hetero-interface of GaN/AlN/Si induced by misfit dislocations, while stacking faults are generated when two crystals with different crystal axes coalesce. We found some of them are annihilated making a loop, where two stacking faults have been generated at a short distance. This suggests a rout to decrease the density of stacking faults in III nitrides.
