Abstract

We have grown high-quality GaN with smooth surface morphology on vicinal a-plane sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The misorientation angles of vicinal a-plane sapphire substrates were changed systematically from 0° to 0.75°. Surface morphology and crystalline qualities are found to be very sensitive to misorientation angles of a-plane sapphire substrates and the misorientation angle was optimized to be 0.25°.
