Patent ID: 7846757

Claim:
A method for growth and fabrication of semipolar (Ga,Al,In,B)N film, comprising: (a) selecting a semipolar growth orientation; (b) selecting a gallium nitride (GaN) substrate compatible with growth of the selected semipolar growth orientation; and (c) growing one or more planar semipolar (Ga,Al,In,B)N layers on a planar semipolar surface of the GaN substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), wherein the planar semipolar surface of the GaN substrate has the selected semipolar growth orientation, and an area and quality of the planar semipolar (Ga,Al,In,B)N layers parallel to the surface of the GaN substrate are sufficient to fabricate a semipolar (Ga,Al,In,B)N device.
