| 1. A method for growing a semi-polar nitride semiconductor film via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on a substrate,
comprising:
(a) growing a nitride nucleation or buffer layer on a substrate; and
(b) growing a semi-polar nitride semiconductor film on the nitride nucleation or buffer layer, wherein a growth surface of
the semi-polar nitride semiconductor film is parallel to the substrate's surface.
