摘要
Nonradiative line defects are observed by cathodoluminescence in [(2) over bar 110] directions in [1 (1) over bar 00]-oriented GaN stripes grown by lateral epitaxy on SiC substrates. Using transmission electron microscopy, the origin is determined to be principally screw dislocations. We observe the screw dislocations in vertically [0001] stacked configurations and forming dislocation loops and half loops contained in two of the three planes of the form {1 (1) over bar 00}. The dislocations are believed to serve to relax the anisotropic stresses experienced in the lateral epitaxy-overgrown stripes. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)03918-8].
