Disclosed is a method for making a pure aluminum nitride substrate. At first, aluminum nitride is mixed with a water-resistant material and an adhesive material. The mixture is made into grains in a granulation process. The grains are molded into a nugget in a steel mode by hydraulic pressure. The nugget is subjected to a cold isostatic pressing process. At a low temperature, the water-resistant material and the adhesive material are removed from the nugget. Then, the nugget, boron nitride and nitrogen are introduced into and sintered in an oven, thus providing a pure aluminum nitride substrate. The purity and quality of the aluminum nitride substrate are high. The aluminum nitride substrate can be used in a light-emitting diode. The method is simple, the yield is high, and the heat radiation of the aluminum nitride substrate is excellent.

Method for making a wafer level aluminum nitride substrate

Disclosed is a method for removing oxygen from aluminum nitride by carbon. At first, an oven is provided. An aluminum nitride substrate is located in the oven. Nitrogen is introduced into the oven to form an atmosphere of nitrogen. The temperature is increased to the transformation point of the aluminum nitride substrate in the oven. Then, the heating is stopped and quenching is conducted in the oven. Carbon is introduced into the oven in the quenching. Thus, oxygen included in the aluminum nitride substrate reacts with the carbon to produce carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. The carbon monoxide or carbon is released from the oven as well as the nitrogen. Thus, the aluminum nitride substrate is purified.
