Abstract

A method of forming a composite crystalline nitride structure is provided. The method includes depositing a first crystalline nitride layer on a substrate, patterning the first crystalline nitride layer to form a patterned crystalline nitride layer having a top surface and that includes undulations, annealing the patterned crystalline nitride layer at a temperature between 300° C. to 850° C. to form an annealed patterned crystalline nitride layer, and depositing a second crystalline nitride layer on the annealed patterned crystalline nitride layer. The second crystalline nitride layer is lattice-matched to the underlying annealed patterned crystalline nitride layer to within 2%, thereby forming the composite crystalline nitride structure.
