Abstract: In a general aspect, a method for growing an InGaN optoelectronic in a reaction chamber, by MOCVD, includes controlling a surface temperature of a wafer to be at least 750° C. during growth of a light-emitting layer. The light emitting layer includes an InGaN quantum well layer having an In % of greater than 25%. The method further includes providing an indium-containing metalorganic precursor and a gallium-containing metalorganic precursor into the reaction chamber and to the wafer during growth of the light-emitting layer when the surface temperature of the wafer is greater than 750° C. The method also includes providing an N-containing species to the wafer at a rate such that a partial pressure of the N-containing species at the surface of the wafer is greater than 1.5 atmospheres during growth of the light-emitting layer of the optoelectronic device when the surface temperature of the wafer is greater than 750° C.
