摘要
In the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) growth of GaN single crystals using the Na flux method, we achieved an increase in the growth rate and a change in the growth thickness distribution by generating thermal convection in the Ga-Na melt. The effect of thermal convection on the growth rate and growth thickness distribution became stronger with the strength of the convection, which indicates that thermal convection can produce a high dissolution rate of nitrogen gas into the melt as well as homogenize the nitrogen concentration.
