β¦ Synopsis
We analyse the dislocation distribution in GaN and AlN bulk crystals by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The crystals are grown by hydride vapour phase epitaxy onto 6H-SiC[0001] and Si(111) substrates. Two essentially different dislocation populations are observed: (i) a-type dislocations that show efficient dislocation density reduction (down to 4 Γ 10 5 cm Β± Β±2 ) and (ii) a, (a + c) and c-type dislocations each type in a considerable density with less efficient dislocation reduction. We evaluate the dislocation processes that result in this different behaviour as dependent on the dislocation population.
