In this work, the effect of high temperature molten KOH wet etching on GaN/AlGaN epilayer has been investigated for different family of dislocations. The high etching temperature (up to 510°C) allows a good definition of the pits, making easy the observation and the counts. Such high temperature will allow a detailed study on the statistical distribution of the dislocations on whole wafer by optical microscope for screw/mixed dislocation. A comparison on dislocation density between AlGaN/GaN structure grown on Si (111) substrate and 4H-SiC substrate has been performed.
