Abstract

Nonpolar a-plane GaN films were grown on r-plane sapphire substrates by atmospheric metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. The as-grown layers were studied by high-resolution x-ray diffraction. The a-plane GaN lattice mosaic is orientation dependent as determined by x-ray rocking curve (XRC) measurements. The tilt mosaic measured with the c-axis within the scattering plane (c-mosaic) was greater than the mosaic measured with the m-axis within the scattering plane (m-mosaic). The mosaic along both azimuths decreased and the c-mosaic/m-mosaic ratio was increased with increase of growth temperature from 1050°C to 1080°C. The morphological transition was correlated to change in the a-plane GaN tilt mosaic measured by XRC.
