Abstract

In this paper we review recent developments in the growth of bulk GaN crystals by a high-pressure, high-temperature method. We also provide information on various physical properties of bulk GaN material. Then, some preliminary results on the homoepitaxial growth of GaN are given. In the second part of this paper we discuss the following problems: the possible origin of the large free electron concentration in undoped GaN material, the parasitic effect of yellow luminescence and the nature of Zn- and Mg-acceptors.
