Abstract

The characteristics of III-V nitride semiconductor epitaxial layers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition are of interest for the realization of many technologically important devices. This paper will review heteroepitaxial growth on (0001) sapphire substrates as well as the selective-area and subsequent lateral epitaxial overgrowth on masked substrate surfaces.
