Abstract

In this paper, we report results from AlN single crystal growth experiments using a sublimation physical vapor transport growth technique. AlN single crystal boules up to 7mm in diameter were demonstrated. Characterization of polished AlN single crystal samples was carried out using various techniques, including synchrotron X-ray topography.
