The crystallization quality, optical property and surface roughness of as-obtained r-plane sapphire substrate were investigated. The average full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the substrate is 19.4arcsec and the dislocation density is 5.6 03cm-2. The transmission of the substrate is higher than 80% when the wavelength is longer than 300nm and the optical homogeneity is 6.6 0-5. The average surface roughness of the r-plane sapphire substrate is 0.49nm. The results indicate that as-obtained r-plane sapphire substrate meets the basic standard of GaN substrate. %K r-plane sapphire %K non-polar GaN %K substrate %U http://www.jim.org.cn/fileup/PDF/20090428.pdf
