    摘要: The light extraction efficiency of a deep ultraviolet LED is increased. The deep ultraviolet LED has a design wavelength », and includes, sequentially arranged from a side opposite to a substrate, a reflecting electrode layer, a metal layer, a p-GaN contact layer, a p-AlGaN layer that is transparent to light with the wavelength », one of a multi-quantum barrier layer or an electron blocking layer, a barrier layer, and a quantum well layer. A thickness of the p-AlGaN layer is less than or equal to 100 nm. A reflecting photonic crystal periodic structure having a plurality of voids is provided in a region in a thickness direction including at least an interface between the p-GaN contact layer and the p-AlGaN layer such that the reflecting photonic crystal periodic structure does not extend beyond the p-AlGaN layer in a direction of the substrate. Maximum light extraction efficiency is obtained when a distance from end faces of the voids in the direction of the substrate to the quantum well layer is greater than or equal to a total thickness of the barrier layer and the multi-quantum barrier layer (or the electron blocking layer) and less than or equal to 80 nm, and a depth h of each void is less than or equal to a total thickness of the p-AlGaN layer and the p-GaN contact layer. The reflecting photonic crystal periodic structure has a photonic band gap that opens for TE polarized components. A period a of the photonic crystal periodic structure satisfies a Bragg condition with respect to light with the design wavelength ». An order m in a formula of the Bragg condition satisfies 1‰¤m‰¤5. Provided that a radius of each void is R, R/a with which the photonic band gap becomes maximum is satisfied.

    摘要: A semiconductor light emitting element with a design wavelength of », comprising a photonic crystal periodic structure having two structures with different refractive indices at each of one or more interfaces between layers that form the light emitting element. The period a and the radius R that are parameters of each of the one or more periodic structures and the design wavelength » satisfy Bragg conditions.

    摘要: The nitride semi-conductive light emitting layer in this invention comprises a single crystal substrate 1 for epitaxial growth, a first buffer layer 2, an n-type nitride semi-conductive layer 3, a second buffer layer 4, a third buffer layer 5, a light emitting layer 6 , and a p-type nitride semi-conductive layer 7. The first buffer layer 2 is laminated to a top side of the single crystal substrate 1 . The n-type nitride semi-conductive layer 3 is laminated to a top side of the first buffer layer 2. The third buffer layer 5 is laminated to a top side of the n-type nitride semi-conductive layer 3 with the second buffer layer 4 being interposed therebetween. The light emitting layer 6 is laminated to a top side of the third buffer layer 5. The p-type nitride semi-conductive layer 7 is laminated to a top side of the light emitting layer 6. The third buffer layer 5 serves as a planarized base for growth of the light emitting layer 6 so as to reduce a threading dislocation and a residual distortion in the light emitting layer 6 . This nitride semi-conductive light emitting device reduces a piezoelectric field in the light emitting layer by exploiting carriers generated in the third buffer layer 5. The third buffer layer 5 is doped with an Si impurity serving as a donor.

    摘要: [PROBLEM] To manufacture a quantum cascade laser (QCL) element having a reduced threshold current density (J th ) and an increased maximum operating temperature (T max ). [SOLUTION] One embodiment of the present invention provides a THz-QCL element (1000) with a QCL structure (100), which is a semiconductor superlattice (100A) sandwiched between a pair of electrodes (20, 30). The semiconductor superlattice (100A) (QCL structure (100)) is provided with an active region (10) that emits THz range electromagnetic waves due to the transition of electrons between sub-bands during application of a voltage to the pair of electrodes, for example. The active region (10) has repeating unit structures (10U) of a thickness, which includes sets of a well layer (10W) and a barrier layer (10B) alternatingly laminated with each other, wherein the well layer (10W) is made of Al x Ga 1-x As (where 0
