Researchers have investigated the crystalline morphology such as lattice plane curvature and lattice plane tilting in (20–21) GaN films on (22–43) patterned sapphire substrates (PSS) by using X-ray rocking curve (XRC) measurements.
From the results of asymmetric XRC for the GaN (20–22) and (12–31) diffractions, it is found that lattice plane tilting is highly dependent on the film thickness and the growth condition. The C-plane-suppressed growth process with tuning the V/III ratio for the (20–21) GaN films on the (22–43) PSS is very effective to suppress the generation of basal plane stacking faults as confirmed by TEM analysis.
