Abstract

Abstract1‐inch diameter AlN single crystals with the thickness of 0.025–2 mm were grown on SiC substrates by the sublimation method. Crystalline qualities were evaluated by X‐ray diffraction and EPD measurements. The FWHM of X‐ray rocking curve for (0002) reflection was 281 arcsec with 1.2‐mm thick crystal and dislocation density measured by EPD was 1.6×106/cm2 with 0.8‐mm thick crystal. These results were well consistent with the dependence of those properties on the thickness of the crystal, which was found in our previous work on 10‐mm diameter crystals. According to this dependence, growing the thick AlN crystal on SiC substrates by the sublimation method is expected to lead to high‐quality free‐standing 1‐inch AlN substrates.
