Abstract (en)

[origin: DE10041285A1] The invention relates to a method for the epitaxy of (indium, aluminum, gallium) nitride on foreign substrates. The aim of the invention involves the search for a mask-free process, which still permits the advantages offered by a reduction in dislocation effected by lateral overgrowth. To this end, the invention provides that recesses (7) are provided on the surface of substrates (1), whereby the walls (4) of the recesses (7) are made in such a manner that the growth fronts of the (In, Al, Ga)N layers (3) are separated from one another on the bottoms of the recesses (7) and on the elevations (6) located therebetween.
