Growing high quality nonpolar films is difficult compared to polar films. Pure a-plane nonpolar films have been grown without difficulty; however, growing pure m-plane films is not easy and other planes coexist parallel to the interface. In this chapter, growth of nonpolar GaN and ZnO films is described. Growth characteristics and properties of nonpolar (a-plane and m-plane) and semipolar GaN films, and nonpolar ZnO films are discussed. The emphasis is on the typical features of growth, structural properties, and procedures to grow nonpolar films with improved crystal quality. The results of lateral epitaxial overgrowth of nonpolar GaN films are also discussed.
