20140151716 | PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A DOPED III-N BULK CRYSTAL AND A FREE-STANDING III-N SUBSTRATE, AND DOPED III-N BULK CRYSTAL AND FREE-STANDING III-N SUBSTRATE AS SUCH - A process for producing a doped III-N bulk crystal, wherein III denotes at least one element of the main group III of the periodic system, selected from Al, Ga and In, wherein the doped crystalline III-N layer or the doped III-N bulk crystal is deposited on a substrate or template in a reactor, and wherein the feeding of at least one dopant into the reactor is carried out in admixture with at least one group III material. In this manner, III-N bulk crystals and III-N single crystal substrates separated therefrom can be obtained with a very homogeneous distribution of dopants in the growth direction as well as in the growth plane perpendicular thereto, a very homogeneous distribution of charge carriers and/or of the specific electric resistivity in the growth direction as well as in the growth plane perpendicular thereto, and a very good crystal quality. | 06-05-2014 |
