Selective growth of GaN on slope cone-shaped patterned sapphire substrate

Chemical Research in Chinese Universities Aims and scope

Abstract

Cone-shaped patterned sapphire substrate was prepared by inductively coupled plasma etching and GaN nucleation layer was grown on it by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. A selective growth of GaN nucleation layer was found on the slope of the cone-shaped patterned sapphire substrat, and the distribution morphology of GaN had significantly changed after it was recrystallized. GaN selective growth and redistribution were analyzed by investigating the distribution of crystallographic planes on the cone surface and the atom array of specific planes at atom level.
