摘要
The structural and optical quality of a freestanding AIN substrate prepared from a thick AIN layer grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) on a bulk (0001) AIN substrate prepared by physical vapor transport (PVT) were investigated. The prepared HVPE-AIN substrate was crack- and stress-free. High-resolution X-ray diffraction omega-rocking curves of symmetric (0002) and skew-symmetric (10 (1) over bar1) reflections had small full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) of 31 and 32 arcsec, respectively. Deep-ultraviolet optical transparency of the HVPE-AIN substrate was higher than that of the PVT-AIN substrate, which was related to lower concentrations of C, O impurities, and Al vacancy.
