Abstract
We report on the growth and characterization of the nano- and micro scale GaN structures selectively grown on the vertex of GaN stripes using the metal organic vapor phase epitaxy method and conventional photolithography technique. The triangular shaped nano- and micro GaN structures which have semi-polar {11-22} facets were formed only on the vertex of the lower GaN stripes. Crystalline defects reduction was observed by transmission electron microscopy for upper GaN stripes. We also have grown the InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well structures on the semi-polar facets of the upper GaN stripes. Cathodoluminescence images were taken at 366, 412 and 555 nm related to GaN band edge, InGaN/GaN layer and defects, respectively.

Keywords: GaN, Micro structure, Selective area growth, Semi-polar.
