A thermodynamic analysis on hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) of AlN using AlCl 3 and NH 3 was performed. Regardless of the carrier gas used, partial pressures of Al‐containing gaseous species [AlCl 3 , AlCl 2 , AlCl and (AlCl 3 ) 2 ] in equilibrium with AlN are significantly low in the temperature range of 500–1500 °C when the input V/III ratio is above 1. This means that the driving force for AlN growth (Δ P Al ) becomes almost equal to the input partial pressure of AlCl 3 , which is quite different from HVPE of GaN. The good agreement between the calculated and experimental growth rates shows that HVPE of AlN is thermodynamically controlled. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
