1. A method of fabricating nonpolar Indium-containing III-nitride devices, comprising:
- (a) providing a III-nitride substrate or template;
(b) growing one or more nonpolar Indium-containing III-nitride layers on the substrate or template;
(c) growing a capping layer on the nonpolar Indium-containing III-nitride layers; and
(d) growing one or more nonpolar Aluminum-containing or Gallium-containing III-nitride layers on the capping layer.

Abstract
A method for the fabrication of nonpolar indium gallium nitride (InGaN) films as well as nonpolar InGaN-containing device structures using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOVCD). The method is used to fabricate nonpolar InGaN/GaN violet and near-ultraviolet light emitting diodes and laser diodes.
