Effect of Various Crucibles for High Quality AIN Crystal Growth on SiC Seed by PVT Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aluminum nitride (AlN) bulk crystals, approximately 50.8mm in diameter and up to 5mm thickness, were grown by a physical vapor transport (PVT) method in a tantalum crucible. To investigate the effect of crucible materials, various crucible materials, a graphite and TaC-coated graphite and tantalum crucible were used for the AlN growth. XRD pattern of AlN crystal grown on SiC seed in the Ta-crucible exhibited only (00l) peaks, indicating that AlN single crystal was successfully grown on SiC seed. The interface structure between AlN and SiC crystals was observed by a high resolution TEM.
