Abstract: Methods for large-scale manufacturing of semipolar gallium nitride boules are disclosed. The disclosed methods comprise suspending large-area single crystal seed plates in a rack, placing the rack in a large diameter autoclave or internally-heated high pressure apparatus along with ammonia and a mineralizer, and growing crystals ammonothermally. A bi-faceted growth morphology may be maintained to facilitate fabrication of large area semipolar wafers without growing thick boules.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a free-standing crystal, comprising a group III metal and nitrogen. The free-standing crystal may comprise: a wurtzite crystal structure; a growth direction, the growth direction being selected from one of [0 0 0 ±1], {1 0 −1 0}, {1 0 −1 ±1}, or {1 0 −1 ±2}. A first surface having a dislocation density between 1 cm−2 and 107 cm−2, the dislocations having an orientation within 30 degrees of the growth direction, and an average impurity concentration of H greater than 1017 cm−3. The free-standing crystal having at least four sets of bands, wherein each set of bands includes a first sub-band and a second sub-band, the first sub-band having a concentration of at least one impurity selected from H, O, Li, Na, K, F, Cl, Br, and I; and each of the at least four sets of bands have portions that are substantially parallel.
