    Abstract: An opto-electronic device, such as a solar cell or a light emitting diode, is fabricated by forming a nucleating layer (22) on a p-type group IV layer (20). The nucleating layer (22) includes a III-V compound selected from the group consisting of AlAs, AlSb, AIN, Bas, BSb, GaN, GaSB, and InAs. A first III-V compound layer (24) is formed on the nucleating layer (22) and includes as group III element, at least one of gallium, indium, and aluminium, and as a group V element, phosphorus. The p-type group IV layer, which may be a p-type silicon layer, includes phosphorus atoms diffused from the first III-V compound layer, the concentration of the phosphorus atoms therein being a function of the thickness of the nucleating layer. The first III-V compound layer includes group IV atoms diffused from the p-type group IV layer, the concentration of the group IV atoms therein being a function of the thickness of the nucleating layer.

    Abstract: A method includes forming a first epitaxial layer over a semiconductor substrate and etching the first epitaxial layer to form multiple separated first epitaxial regions. The method also includes forming a second epitaxial layer over the etched first epitaxial layer. Each epitaxial layer includes at least one Group III-nitride, and the epitaxial layers collectively form a buffer. The method further includes forming a device layer over the buffer and fabricating a semiconductor device using the device layer. The second epitaxial layer could include second epitaxial regions substantially only on the first epitaxial regions. The second epitaxial layer could also cover the first epitaxial regions and the substrate, and the second epitaxial layer may or may not be etched. The device layer could be formed during the same operation used to form the second epitaxial layer.

    Abstract: In a Ill-nitride light emitting device, the device layers (10) including the light emitting layer are grown over a template (22, 26) designed to reduce strain in the device, in particular in the light emitting layer. Reducing the strain in the light emitting device may improve the performance of the device. The template may expand the lattice constant in the light emitting layer over the range of lattice constants available from conventional growth templates. Strain is defined as follows: a given layer has a bulk lattice constant abulk corresponding to a lattice constant of a free standing material of a same composition as that layer and an in-plane lattice constant ain-plane corresponding to a lattice constant of that layer as grown in the structure. The amount of strain in a layer is l(ain-plane -abulk) | / abulk. In some embodiments, the strain in the light emitting layer is less than 1%.
