Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016118862A1] In one instance, the invention provides a method of growing bulk crystal of group III nitride using a seed crystal selected by (a) measuring x-ray rocking curves of a seed crystal at more than one point, (b) quantifying the peak widths of the measured x-ray rocking curves, and (c) evaluating the distribution of the quantified peak widths. The invention also includes the method of selecting a seed crystal for growing bulk crystal of group III nitride. The bulk crystal of group III nitride can be grown in supercritical ammonia or a melt of group III metal using at least one seed selected by the method above.
