英文摘要：

The research on bulk AlN single-crystal growth was reviewed.Attention was paid to four AlN crystal growth methods,which were direct nitridation of aluminum,solution growth,hydride vapor phase epitaxy（HVPE）growth,and physical vapor transport（PVT）growth.The technological process of each method is summarized and discussed,with a conclusion that the HVPE and PVT methods may be the most promising methods.Some improvements in the PVT growth technology made by our research team were presented.It is believed that,in order to grow large-size AlN single-crystal,further research should focus on precisely controlling the growth conditions,finding suitable inert crucible materials,finding best technical approach and process sequence,and preparing high-quality native AlN seed.
