A method for growing a crystalline composition, the first crystalline composition may include gallium and nitrogen. The crystalline composition may have an infrared absorption peak at about 3175 cm−1, with an absorbance per unit thickness of greater than about 0.01 cm−1. In one embodiment, the composition may have an amount of oxygen present in a concentration of less than about 3×1018 per cubic centimeter, and may be free of two-dimensional planar boundary defects in a determined volume of the first crystalline composition.

摘要:
A method may produce a resonant cavity light emitting device. A seed gallium nitride crystal and a source material in a nitrogen-containing superheated fluid may provide a medium for mass transport of gallium nitride precursors therebetween. A seed crystal surface may be prepared by applying a first thermal profile between the seed gallium nitride crystal and the source material. Gallium nitride material may be grown on the prepared surface of the seed gallium nitride crystal by applying a second thermal profile between the seed gallium nitride crystal and the source material while the seed gallium nitride crystal and the source material are in the nitrogen-containing superheated fluid. A stack of group III-nitride layers may be deposited on the single-crystal gallium nitride substrate. The stack may include a first mirror sub-stack and an active region adaptable for fabrication into one or more resonant cavity light emitting devices.
摘要:
In a method for producing a resonant cavity light emitting device, a seed gallium nitride crystal (14) and a source material (30) are arranged in a nitrogen-containing superheated fluid (44) disposed in a sealed container (10) disposed in a multiple-zone furnace (50). Gallium nitride material is grown on the seed gallium nitride crystal (14) to produce a single-crystal gallium nitride substrate (106, 106′). Said growing includes applying a temporally varying thermal gradient (100, 100′, 102, 102′) between the seed gallium nitride crystal (14) and the source material (30) to produce an increasing growth rate during at least a portion of the growing. A stack of group III-nitride layers (112) is deposited on the single-crystal gallium nitride substrate (106, 106′), including a first mirror sub-stack (116) and an active region (120) adapted for fabrication into one or more resonant cavity light emitting devices (108, 150, 160, 170, 180).

There is provided a GaN single crystal at least about 2.75 millimeters in diameter, with a dislocation density less than about 104 cm−1, and having substantially no tilt boundaries. A method of forming a GaN single crystal is also disclosed. The method includes providing a nucleation center, a GaN source material, and a GaN solvent in a chamber. The chamber is pressurized. First and second temperature distributions are generated in the chamber such that the solvent is supersaturated in the nucleation region of the chamber. The first and second temperature distributions have different temperature gradients within the chamber.
