Cubic GaN on pre-patterned 3C-SiC/Si (001) substrates — •Donat Josef As, Ricarda Maria Kemper, Thomas Riedl, and Jörg K.N. Lindner — Department Physik, Universität Paderborn, Warburgerstrasse 100, 33098 Paderborn, Germany

The influence of growth area reduction towards length scales predicted to be effective for defect reduction by the theory of nano-hetero-epitaxy (NHE) is analyzed. This is studied in detail for the first time in the system of meta-stable cubic GaN (c-GaN) grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on pre-patterned 3C-SiC/Si (001) substrates. It is demonstrated that regardless of the pattern symmetry or size, the cubic phase of GaN nucleates on top of all investigated mesa structures. Electron beam lithography followed by a lift-off and a reactive ion etching process is used for tailoring post-shaped SiC structures. A successful reduction of the {111} stacking fault (SF) density is achieved by reducing the (001) top edge length of the posts from ~500 nm down to ~20 nm. Transmission electron microscopy reveals a nucleation of phase-pure and almost defect free c-GaN on top of the smallest SiC nanostructures as predicted by theoretical calculations.
