Two samples containing InGaN quantum wells have been grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy on high pressure grown monocrystalline GaN (0001). Different growth temperatures have been used to grow the wells and the barriers. In one of the samples, a low temperature GaN layer (730°C) has been grown on every quantum well before rising the temperature to standard values (900°C). The samples have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Photoluminescence spectra have been measured as well. The influence of the LT-GaN has been investigated in regard to its influence on the structural and compositional quality of the sample.
