Abstract
In this work, I2-type basal-plane stacking faults (BSFs) were observed in In0.25Ga0.75N multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown on a (101¯1) semipolar GaN template by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The structure and formation mechanisms of the I2-type BSFs at the GaN-InGaN interface were investigated in detail. The formation of the I2-type BSFs contributes to lattice mismatch accommodation within the InGaN QWs. Their density varies in different regions of the sample due to the inhomogeneous distribution of the In content in the InGaN layer. The relationship between the In content in the InxGa1-xN layer and the I2-type BSFs is discussed.
