The present invention relates, in some aspects, to systems and methods for fabricating longitudinally-shaped structures such as nanobelt semiconductor structures. In some embodiments, the method comprises: a) providing a substrate selected to promote epitaxial growth thereon a selected growth orientation, b) depositing a crystalline sacrificial layer on the substrate for epitaxially growing along the selected growth orientation, c) forming a film over the sacrificial layer, the film having a crystal lattice structure grown substantially along the selected growth orientation, and d) removing at least part of the sacrificial layer, thereby producing the longitudinally shaped structures from the film by strain redistribution through the crystal lattice structure of the film to crack the film along a selected in-plane axis of the selected growth orientation.
摘要:
Si-doped porous GaN is fabricated by UV-enhanced Pt-assisted electrochemical etching and together with a low-temperature grown buffer layer are utilized as the template for InGaN growth. The porous network in GaN shows nanostructures formed on the surface. Subsequent growth of InGaN shows that it is relaxed on these nanostructures as the area on which the growth takes place is very small. The strain relaxation favors higher indium incorporation. Besides, this porous network creates a relatively rough surface of GaN to modify the surface energy which can enhance the nucleation of impinging indium atoms thereby increasing indium incorporation. It shifts the luminescence from 445 nm for a conventionally grown InGaN structure to 575 nm and enhances the intensity by more than two-fold for the growth technique in the present invention under the same growth conditions. There is also a spectral broadening of the output extending from 480 nm to 720 nm.

A method for forming a modified semiconductor having a number of band gaps involves providing a semiconductor having a surface and a quantum region which emits photons in response to electrical or optical stimulation, the quantum region having an original band gap and being disposed under the surface and applying a number of layers of a number of materials to a number of selected regions of the surface, the materials being adapted to cause, upon thermal annealing, a number of different degrees of intermixing in a number of portions of the quantum region disposed immediately below each of the selected regions of the surface. The layers of materials can be applied in a dot or line pattern, or both, to increase the plurality of band gap tuning. The method includes thermally annealing the layers to the surface. The methods result in a modified semiconductor which exhibits a number of different band gaps in a number of portions of the quantum region depending upon the positioning of the layers of materials on the surface immediately above the respective portions of the quantum region.
