    Abstract: A nitride crystal or wafer with a removable surface layer comprises a high quality nitride base crystal, a release layer, and a high quality epitaxial layer. The release layer has a large optical absorption coefficient at wavelengths where the base crystal is substantially transparent and may be etched under conditions where the nitride base crystal and the high quality epitaxial layer are not. The high quality epitaxial layer may be removed from the nitride base crystal by laser liftoff or by chemical etching after deposition of at least one epitaxial device layer. The nitride crystal with a removable surface layer is useful as a substrate for a light emitting diode, a laser diode, a transistor, a photodetector, a solar cell, or for photoelectrochemical water splitting for hydrogen generation.

    Abstract: A large-area, high-purity, low-cost single crystal semi-insulating gallium nitride that is useful as substrates for fabricating GaN devices for electronic and/or optoelectronic applications is provided. The gallium nitride is formed by doping gallium nitride material during ammonothermal growth with a deep acceptor dopant species, e.g., Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, etc., to compensate donor species in the gallium nitride, and impart semi-insulating character to the gallium nitride.
