Practical boron nitride (BN) detector applications will require uniform materials over large surface area and thick BN layers. To report important progress toward these technological requirements, 1~2.5 µm-thick BN layers were grown on 2-inch sapphire substrates by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE).

This is in contrast to unmasked or micro-selective area growth, which results in a multi-crystalline structure on both substrates. Various characterization techniques were used to evaluate NSAG as a viable technique to improve BGaN material quality on AlN/Si(111) using results of GaN NSAG and unmasked BGaN growth for comparison.
