Research abstract

Single crystal aluminum nitride is an important substrate material for the growth of III-nitrides because of its high thermal conductivity, excellent lattice match and chemical compatibility. AlN crystals have been difficult to grow because the Al vapor is extremely reactive. Fox Group and KSU have demonstrated a highly durable crucible technology and a method of producing seed crystals that will be combined in Phase II to develop a process for growing large, 2" diameter AlN boules.
