A Comparative Study of Dislocations in HVPE GaN Layers by High-Resolution X-Ray Diffraction and Selective Wet Etching

Figure 2

The etch pattern of HVPE GaN epilayer after 2-min E-etching at 540°C. The A pits are ascribed to the screw dislocations (the EPDA is 2 . 8 × 1 0 7  cm−2), the middle-size B pits–to the mixed ( 1 . 2 × 1 0 8  cm−2), and the smallest C pits–to the edge dislocations ( 8 . 7 × 1 0 8  cm−2).
