Abstract
A high purity aluminum nitride is made by precipitating (CH.sub.3).sub.3 Al:NH.sub.3, washing it with hexane and pyrolyzing it to AlN. The precipitation is obtained by reacting a hexane solution of trimethyl aluminum with high purity anhydrous NH.sub.3(g), or by reaction Al(CH.sub.3).sub.3(g) and NH.sub.3(g) in a hexane solution, or by reacting Al(CH.sub.3).sub.3(g ) with NH.sub.3(1). The resulitng AlN is very pure and a density of 91.3% of theoretical has been achieved by pressing and sintering a pellet made from it as compared to a 89% theoretical density obtained by pressing and sintering a pellet made from commercial AlN powder.
