AbstractWe report on spatially resolved and time-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) studies of the recombination mechanisms of InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy on bulk m-plane Ammono GaN substrates. As a result of the 2° miscut of the GaN substrate, the sample surface exhibits step bunches, where semi-polar QWs with a higher indium concentration than the planar m-plane QWs form during the QW growth. Spatially resolved time-integrated CL maps under both continuous and pulsed excitation show a broad emission band originating from the m-plane QWs and a distinct low energy emission originating from the semi-polar QWs at the step bunches. High resolution time-resolved CL maps reveal that when the m-QWs are excited well away from the step bunches the emission from the m-plane QWs decays with a time constant of 350 ps, whereas the emission originating semi-polar QWs decays with a longer time constant of 489 ps. The time constant of the decay from the semi-polar QWs is longer due to the separation of the carrier wavefunctions caused by the electric field across the semi-polar QWs.
