Aluminum nitride single crystals having controllable color and methods of forming them

In various embodiments, single-crystal aluminum nitride boules and substrates are highly visibly transparent and have low Urbach energies and/or absorption coefficients at deep-ultraviolet wavelengths. The single-crystal aluminum nitride may function as a platform for the fabrication of light-emitti...

More Information
Summary:In various embodiments, single-crystal aluminum nitride boules and substrates are highly visibly transparent and have low Urbach energies and/or absorption coefficients at deep-ultraviolet wavelengths. The single-crystal aluminum nitride may function as a platform for the fabrication of light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes and lasers.
