Abstract

The density and distribution of extended defects in AlN single crystals grown by physical vapor transport (PVT) was studied by bright field and polarized light microscopy, defect‐selective etching, and high resolution X‐ray diffraction (HRXRD). Etch pits associated with dislocation arrays forming low angle grain boundaries (LAGB) were observed and two types of LAGB were identified. Reduction of LAGB in AlN grown under reduced radial temperature gradients, as estimated by simulation of the growth cell, was demonstrated.

## Abstract We have grown bulk AlN boules by PVT at different growth temperatures. The grown material is single‐phase wurtzite AlN containing about 100 ppm wt of oxygen; transition metals are present only in the sub‐ppm range. Vibrational spectroscopy shows that structural quality of the single‐cry

We analyse the dislocation distribution in GaN and AlN bulk crystals by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The crystals are grown by hydride vapour phase epitaxy onto 6H-SiC[0001] and Si(111) substrates. Two essentially different dislocation populations are observed: (i) a-type
