摘要:
In various embodiments, single-crystal aluminum nitride boules and substrates are formed from the vapor phase with controlled levels of impurities such as carbon. Single-crystal aluminum nitride may be heat treated via quasi-isothermal annealing and controlled cooling to improve its ultraviolet absorption coefficient and/or Urbach energy.
摘要:
In various embodiments, single-crystal aluminum nitride boules and substrates having high transparency to ultraviolet light and low defect density are formed. The single-crystal aluminum nitride may function as a platform for the fabrication of light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes and lasers.

摘要:
Bulk single crystal of aluminum nitride (AlN) having an areal planar defect density≦100 cm−2. Methods for growing single crystal aluminum nitride include melting an aluminum foil to uniformly wet a foundation with a layer of aluminum, the foundation forming a portion of an AlN seed holder, for an AlN seed to be used for the AlN growth. The holder may consist essentially of a substantially impervious backing plate.
