Two-step selective epitaxy (SAG/ELO) of (11•2)GaN on a (113)Si substrate was
studied to reduce the defect density in the epitaxial lateral overgrowth. The first
SAG/ELO was to prepare a (11•2)GaN template on a (113)Si and the second
SAG/ELO was to get a uniform (11•2)GaN. It was found that the reduction of the
defect density was improved by optimizing the mask configuration in the second
SAG/ELO. The minimum dark spot density obtained was 3 x 107/cm2, which was
two orders of magnitude lower than that found in a (00•1)GaN grown on (111)Si.
