2 Electrical Engineering Departments, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA
3 NICP/ERATO JST, UCSB Group, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA
The article is focused on studying of characteristics of planar semipolar gallium nitride films grown by vapor phase epitaxy. GaN films were grown on m-plane sapphire substrates provided by a number of suppliers, including those produced by Monocrystal.
This research is a substantial step in the development of usage of GaN-on-sapphire as templates for GaN-based devices that eventually may surpass the performance of traditional c-plane devices, especially for high performance of optoelectronic devices including laser diodes.
