Abstract

In a method of forming a crystalline GaN-based material, a first nucleation layer is formed on a substrate at a first temperature, followed with forming a second nucleation layer at a second temperature different from the first temperature. The first and second nucleation layers are composed of AlxInyGa(1-x-y)N. Subsequently, a layer of a crystalline GaN-based compound is epitaxy grown on the second nucleation layer.
