Laser interference lithography is used to create stripe patterns with 240 nm period on silicon doped c-oriented gallium nitride layers grown on 2-inch sapphire substrates. The pattern which was aligned parallel to the a-direction of gallium nitride is transfered to a mask enabling subsequent selective epitaxy. The resulting stripes exhibit triangular cross-section with semipolar {1011} side facets. After epitaxy of InGaN quantum wells on these stripes, Mg doped GaN is grown in a two-step process to planarize the samples which results in a planar c-oriented surface. We present morphological characterization of the final devices as well as electroluminescence results obtained by on-wafer-testing with evaporated contacts.
