Methods for Improving the Quality of Group III-nitride Materials and Structures Produced By the Methods

The invention provides methods which can be applied during the epitaxial growth of two or more layers of Group Ill-nitride semiconductor materials so that the qualities of successive layer are successively improved. In preferred embodiments, surface defects interact with a protective layer of a protective material to form amorphous complex regions capable of preventing the further propagation of defects and dislocations. The invention also includes semiconductor structures fabricated by these methods.
