In response to Navy N00-T006 STTR, Sterling Semiconductor porposes to investigate a novel approach to the growth of aluminum nitride (AlN) crystals. Preliminary investigation by the PI shows the potential of this technique for growing AlN. It is the goal of this work to investigate and optimize the materials and growth parameters for the feasibility of AlN boule growth.

Benefits:
Aluminum Nitride wafers will be used in a variety of high frequency, high power and optoelectronic device applications.
