  • Patent number: 5637531
    Abstract: A process for fabricating a multilayer crystalline structure of nitrides of metals from group III of periodic table including GaN, AlN and InN is provided. The process includes the steps of heating a group III metal (26) to a temperature T1 under an equilibrium nitrogen pressure while maintaining group III metal nitride stability to form a first crystal layer of the group III metal nitride. Thereafter the method includes the step of forming a second crystal layer (28) of the group III metal nitride by decreasing the nitrogen pressure such that the second crystal layer grows on the first layer with a growth rate slower than the growth rate of the first layer at a temperature T2 not greater than temperature T1. The second layer (28) grows on at least a portion of the first layer at a predetermined thickness under the new nitrogen pressure.
