GaN microstructures were grown on c‐Al2O3 with a multi‐stacked graphene buffered layer using metal metal‐organic chemical‐vapor deposition. Under the same growth conditions, the nucleation of GaN was suppressed by the low surface energy of graphene, resulting in a much lower density of microstructures relative to those grown on c‐Al2O3. Residual stress in the GaN microstructures was estimated from the peak shift of the E2 phonon using micro‐Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that the compressive stress of approximately 0.36 GPa in GaN on c‐Al2O3 caused by lattice mismatch and the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient was relaxed by introducing the graphene layer.
