摘要
Freestanding AlN substrates with various carbon (C) concentrations were prepared from C-doped thick layers grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) on bulk AlN substrates prepared by physical vapor transport (PVT). The structural properties of the AlN substrates up to a C concentration of 3 x 1019 cm(-3) were the same as those of the nominally undoped substrates, while the absorption coefficient alpha at 265 nm was increased by C doping from 6.6 to 97 cm(-1), when C concentration changed from <2 x 10(17) to 1 x 10(19) cm(-3), respectively. Photoluminescence (PL) below 4.0 eV also increased by C doping. (C) 2012 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
