Abstract
Thick AlN layers with atomically flat surfaces were successfully grown directly on sapphire substrates by metalβorganic vapor phase epitaxy at high temperatures between 1300 Β°C and 1600 Β°C. Dislocations such as those of the edge, screw and mixed types exhibited different behaviors in the AlN epilayers. The dislocation density of AlN was less than 2 Γ 10^9^ cm^β2^. Free and bound excitons of AlN were observed with peak energies of 6.084 eV and 6.063 eV, respectively. (Β© 2006 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract The crystalline quality of aluminum nitride (AlN) epilayers grown on sapphire substrates by MOCVD was improved by increasing hydrogen flow rate during the high temperature growth process. The AlN epilayer exhibited a root mean square (rms) of roughness was 1.944 nm from the 2Γ2 Β΅m^2^ si
