摘要
In this paper, we report on observations of the operation of secondary slip systems to relieve lattice mismatch stress in semipolar InGaN/GaN heterostructures. Two-dimensional arrays of misfit dislocations were observed. Consistent with previous reports, primary relaxation occurred along the projected c direction via primary slip on the (0001) basal plane. In addition, evidence for secondary relaxation was detected in cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, high resolution x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. The secondary misfit dislocations were determined by TEM to have a-type Burgers vectors a/3 <(2) over bar 110 > and line directions along < 4 (2) over bar(2) over bar(3) over bar >, consistent with prismatic slip on one of the m-type planes inclined with respect to the (11 (2) over bar2) growth surface. Evidence of an additional slip system with approximate misfit line direction of type < 20 (2) over bar(3) over bar > is also given. (C) 2011 American Institute
