Abstract

Misfit dislocations (MDs) have been observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in InGaN/GaN quantum well (MQW) structures grown under different metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) regimes and with In-contents equal to or higher than 20%. These dislocations are even observed in a single quantum well 3 nm thick with an In-content of 22%. Conversely, no MDs were observed in QW structures with an In-content of 16%. The presence of MDs in the QW stack leads to strain relaxation which has been confirmed in the indium-rich structures by high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD).
