Abstract

jats:pInGaN layers were grown simultaneously on (112¯2) GaN and (0001) GaN templates by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy. At higher growth temperature (≥750 °C), the indium content (&lt;15%) of the (112¯2) and (0001) InGaN layers was similar. However, for temperatures less than 750 °C, the indium content of the (112¯2) InGaN layers (15%–26%) were generally lower than those with (0001) orientation (15%–32%). The compositional deviation was attributed to the different strain relaxations between the (112¯2) and (0001) InGaN layers. Room temperature photoluminescence measurements of the (112¯2) InGaN layers showed an emission wavelength that shifts gradually from 380 nm to 580 nm with decreasing growth temperature (or increasing indium composition). The peak emission wavelength of the (112¯2) InGaN layers with an indium content of more than 10% blue-shifted a constant value of ≈(50–60) nm when using higher excitation power densities. This blue-shift was attributed to band filling effects in the layers.</jats:p>
