Abstract: A reduction in leakage current and an increase in efficiency of III-nitride LEDs is obtained by sidewall passivation using atomic layer deposition of a dielectric. Atomic layer deposition is a hydrogen-free deposition method, which avoids problems associated with the effects of hydrogen on passivation and transparency.

Abstract: A physical vapor deposition (e.g., sputter deposition) method for III-nitride tunnel junction devices uses metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) to grow one or more light-emitting or light-absorbing structures and electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) sputtering to grow one or more tunnel junctions. In another method, the surface of the p-type layer is treated before deposition of the tunnel junction on the p-type layer. In yet another method, the whole device (including tunnel junction) is grown using MOCVD and the p-type layers of the III-nitride material are reactivated by lateral diffusion of hydrogen through mesa sidewalls in the III-nitride material, with one or more lateral dimensions of the mesa that are less than or equal to about 200 μm. A flip chip display device is also disclosed.

Abstract: III-V micro light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are fabricated using a photoelectrochemical (PEC) etch. A sacrificial layer and III-V device layers are epitaxially grown on a host substrate, wherein the III-V device layers are patterned to form the micro-LEDs. The sacrificial layer is removed by a photoelectrochemical (PEC) etch, so as to fully or partially separate the micro-LEDs from the substrate, before or after the micro-LEDs are bonded to a submount or intermediate substrate. The micro-LEDs may be bonded to a submount with a polymer film deposited thereon, wherein the polymer film with the micro-LEDs is subsequently delaminated from the submount. Alternatively, the intermediate substrate may be a transfer medium, wherein the micro-LEDs are separated from the host substrate by mechanical fracturing, and then bonded to a second substrate, after which the intermediate substrate is removed, wherein a third substrate may be bonded to exposed surfaces of the transferred micro-LEDs.

Abstract: A device including an activated p-type layer comprising a III-Nitride based Mg-doped layer grown by vapor phase deposition or a growth method different from MBE. The p-type layer is activated through a sidewall of the p-type layer after the removal of defects from the sidewall thereby increasing a hole concentration in the p-type layer. In one or more examples, the device includes an active region between a first n-type layer and the p-type layer; a second n-type layer on the p-type layer; and a tunnel junction between the second n-type layer and the p-type layer, and the activated p-type layer has a hole concentration characterized by a current density of at least 100 Amps per centimeter square flowing between the first n-type layer and the second n-type layer in response to a voltage of 4 volts or less applied across the first n-type layer and the second n-type layer.
