Abstract
A theoretical approach is proposed to reduce the density of threading dislocations (TDs) in (0001) oriented growth of GaN layers. The approach can be realized by repeated stages of growth surface roughening (stage I) and flattening (stage II). Fundamentals of the approach include the formation of a dislocation redirection layer with inclined TDs at stage I and enhanced reactivity among inclined TDs in a dislocation reaction layer at stage II. A reactionβkinetics model is applied for the quantitative prediction of TD density reduction which can be achieved as a result of the twoβstage growth technique. (Β© 2006 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

## Abstract A new multistep MOCVD method for growing GaN is used to suppress threading dislocations in GaN epilayers on __c__ βplane sapphire. A nucleation island density of as low as 2.5 Γ 10^7^ cm^β2^ is reported. Developed subsequent overgrowth prevents the formation of new islands and stimulate
We report a novel growth technique of GaN films on Si substrates using a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. First, Ga droplets are deposited on a Si substrate by feeding trimethylgallium. And then the substrate is heated at 1080 1C, resulting in the formation of recesses on its surface by meltb
