摘要：

Fully coalesced epitaxial laterally overgrown a-plane GaN films were characterized for their structural and optical quality. The films had a very smooth surface with a root mean square roughness as low as 4.6 Angstrom for a 5 mum x 5 mum atomic force microscope scan area. They exhibited a wing tilt of only 0.27degrees and optically pumped stimulated emission, which establish their high structural and optical quality. These non-polar films are ideal for fabricating high-efficiency optoelectronic and electronic devices.
