摘要
We report the observation of threading dislocation de-multiplication process by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The GaN films used in this study were grown on (0001) sapphire substrates with LT-GaN buffer layers by reduced pressure organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. By using g center dot b = 0 invisibility criterion, it was found that some of TDs were de-multiplicated by interactions among themselves. In particular, type a+c TDs were found to nucleate through the interactions between type a and type c TDs in GaN near the GaN/sapphire interface so that the de-multiplication of TDs in GaN films was achieved.
