Semipolar GaN samples, heteroepitaxially grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy on pre-structured sapphire substrates, are possible substrates for efficient optoelectronic devices. Due to the sophisticated growth mode on pre-structured sapphire substrates, defects in the epitaxial GaN layer are formed. These include basal plane stacking faults in various types, such as I1, I2 and terminating prismatic dislocations. Mostly, these defects are created at an early stage of growth, but also they form during coalescence.
In this study we present spatially and spectrally resolved low-temperature cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) investigations from a semipolar coalesced (1011) GaN sample, grown on a pre-structured r-plane sapphire substrate. This sample shows complex luminescence signatures from several types of crystal defects.
