Conclusion

The defects and their thermo-evolution in the hetero-integrated GaN films on Si(100) substrate were thoroughly studied. The nano-cavity defects and residual H ions in the as-transferred GaN film evolved into larger size cavity defects due to the OR mechanism and MC mechanism, while the GaN lattice was recovered and the NBE emission of the post-annealed GaN film at low temperature reappeared. The results of PAS and RBS also confirmed the evolution of defects and the recovery of GaN lattice.
