A layered group III-nitride article includes a single crystal silicon substrate, and a highly textured group III-nitride layer, such as GaN, disposed on the silicon substrate. The highly textured group III-nitride layer is crack free and has a thickness of at least 10 μm. A method for forming highly textured group III-nitride layers includes the steps of providing a single crystal silicon comprising substrate, depositing a nanostructured InxGa1-xN (1≧x≧0) interlayer on the silicon substrate, and depositing a highly textured group III-nitride layer on the interlayer. The interlayer has a nano indentation hardness that is less than both the silicon substrate and the highly textured group III-nitride layer. |
