Abstract

Synchrotron radiation has been utilized for x-ray diffraction and reciprocal space mapping of InGaNGaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) structures grown on the sidewalls of 10-μm -wide triangular GaN ridges with {1-1.1} facets. Samples were produced by lateral overgrowth through a patterned dielectric mask by using metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. Global MQW strain, period, and the tilt of the (00.1) crystallographic planes have been measured across the sidewall facets using a 240 nm x-ray beam. Results of this study are interpreted in terms of suppressed intrafacet migration of In and Ga precursors during the MQW growth.
