Abstract
Selective area growth (SAG) of GaN on (111) Si substrate was studied using AlGaN as an intermediate layer. A hexagonal dot with a (0001) plane on the top and of a 5 µm or a submicron size was obtained using a patterned dot structure of silicon dioxide (SiO2) mask. The facet structure revealed that the <1120> axis of hexagonal GaN is parallel to the <110> axis of the Si substrate. The cathodoluminescence (CL) spectrum at 133 K exhibited a strong near-band-edge emission band for the submicron dots, which suggests excellent crystallinity. Epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of GaN on the Si substrate is demonstrated.
