Abstract
In this study thin AlxGa1−xN nucleation layers on sapphire were patterned and overgrown by plasma-induced molecular beam epitaxy (PIMBE) and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) to obtain adjacent regions of GaN and AlGaN/GaN heterostructures with different polarities. The role of polarity on the structural and electrical properties of epitaxial layers and AlGaN/GaN heterostructures was investigated for samples grown on patterned AlN or GaN nucleation layers. Epitaxial GaN and AlGaN/GaN heterostructures grown on Al-face AlN or N- face GaN nucleation layers were found to be Ga-face or N-face, respectively, independent of the technique used for the overgrowth.Keywords
