Abstract

Rectangular voids were found at the coalescence boundary in GaN laterally grown on maskless periodically grooved sapphire by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) in this paper. Stress distribution investigations were performed by micro-Raman spectroscopy. An increased compressive stress was found at the coalesc ence boundary in the wing regions. Using finite element analysis method, we found the rectangular voids present at the wing regions are the major source of stress concentration..
