Abstract

AbstractWe used positron annihilation spectroscopy to study bulk AlN single crystals grown by physical vapor transport (PVT) and hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). Unlike in previous measurements in AlN, we see a clear Alvacancy related lifetime component already at room temperature in HVPE‐AlN. Overall, our results show the more UV‐transparent HVPE‐AlN to have higher concentration of Al‐vacancy related defects than PVT‐AlN, suggesting that Al‐vacancies are not the origin of UV absorption in AlN.
