Overview

This book covers the rapidly developing field of AlN research and some of its technical applications. In this book, the development of aluminium nitride from single crystal growth to device applications is comprehensively presented.

Single Crystal Growth

Single crystal AlN growth includes bulk single crystal growth, single crystal thick film growth and single crystal thin film growth involving physical vapor deposition technology, hydride vapor phase epitaxy and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition technology.

Device Applications

In terms of devices, AlN basic UV LED and power electronics devices are discussed.

Intended Audience

This book can provide researchers, engineers and graduate students with a wealth of new discoveries, results, information and knowledge in the field of AlN single crystal materials.
