Patent ID: 7314517

Claim:
A mineralizer used for a process for obtaining bulk mono-crystalline gallium-containing nitride in a supercritical ammonia-containing solvent which provides: (a) ions of another Group I element (IUPAC 1989), or (b) ions of Group II element (IUPAC 1989), preferably calcium or magnesium, or (c) one or more substances containing oxygen-free species causing a weakening of the ammono-basic nature of the supercritical solvent, or else (d) ions of Group II element (IUPAC 1989), preferably calcium or magnesium and one or more substances containing oxygen-free species causing a weakening of the ammono-basic nature of the supercritical solvent in a supercritical ammonia-containing solvent for dissolution of the gallium-containing feedstock.
