Abstract
Nonpolara-plane [11-20] GaN has been grown onr-plane [1-102] sapphire by MOCVD, and investigated by high resolution X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. As opposed to thec-direction, this particular orientation is non-polar, and it avoids polarization charge, the associated screening charge and the consequent band bending. Both low-temperature GaN buffer and high-temperature AlN buffer are used fora-plane GaN growth on r-plane sapphire, and the triangular pits and pleat morphology come forth with different buffers, the possible reasons for which are discussed. The triangular and pleat direction are also investigated. A novel modulate buffer is used for a-plane GaN growth on r-plane sapphire, and with this technique, the crystal quality has been greatly improved.-
