A transmission electron microscopy study of the reduction mechanisms for defect densities in epitaxial lateral overgrown (ELO) GaN films is presented. In the standard one step ELO, the propagation of defects under the mask is blocked, whereas the defects in the window regions thread up to the surface. We propose an alternative two step ELO method. In a first step, dislocations close to the edge of the (0001) top facet bend at 90 degrees, thereby producing a drastic reduction in the density of defects above the window. After the coalescence, induced by lateral growth in a second step, dislocations are mainly observed in the coalescence boundaries. The density of defects is decreased to 2x10(-7) cm(-2) over the entire surface and areas nearly 5 mu m wide with 5x10(6) cm(-2) dislocations between the center of the windows and the coalescence boundaries are obtained.
