Abstrakt: Nonpolar (11&bar20;) and semipolar (11&bar22;) GaN are grown on r-plane and m-plane sapphire by MOCVD to investigate the characteristics of basal plane stacking faults (BSFs). Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the density of BSFs for the semipolar (11&bar22;) and nonpolar a-plane GaN template is 3×105 cm-1 and 8×105cm-1, respectively. The semipolar (11&bar22;) GaN shows an arrowhead-like structure, and the nonpolar a-plane GaN has a much smoother morphology with a streak along the c-axis. Both nonpolar (11&bar20;) and semipolar (11&bar22;) GaN have very strong BSF luminescence due to the optically active character of the BSFs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
