Coalescence of a vertically aligned GaN nanowire array on r ‐plane sapphire, a technique called nanowire‐templated lateral epitaxial growth, is used to grow low‐dislocation density a ‐plane GaN. The resulting film is connected to the lattice‐mismatched substrate by nanowires, which facilitates dramatic strain relaxation and leads to a significant reduction in defects.
