Abstract
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.
