Defect reduction in seeded aluminum nitride crystal growth
Abstract
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.
