Abstract

We investigated the growth conditions for enhancing epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of GaN stripes selectively grown by low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The ELO was enhanced for GaN <1100> stripes and with a small trimethylgallium flow-rate. This tendency did not depend on mask materials. The cross-sectional shape of the GaN <1100> stripes was trapezoidal for SiO2 masks, and rectangular for silicon nitride (SiN2) masks in a certain growth condition. A low dislocation density in the ELO region was obtained not only for the SiO2 masks but also for the SiN2 masks.
