摘要:
A light-emitting apparatus composed of a light source that emits primary light and a phosphor that absorbs the primary light and emits secondary light offers high brightness, low power consumption, and a long lifetime while minimizing adverse effects on the environment. The phosphor is formed of a III–V group semiconductor in the form of fine-particle crystals each having a volume of 2 800 nm3 or less. The light emitted from the fine-particle crystals depends on their volume, and therefore giving the fine-particle crystals a predetermined volume distribution makes it possible to adjust the wavelength range of the secondary light.

An object of the present invention is to realize, by the flux process, the production of a high-quality n-type semiconductor crystal having high concentration of electrons. The method of the invention for producing an n-type Group III nitride-based compound semiconductor by the flux process, the method including preparing a melt by melting at least a Group III element by use of a flux; supplying a nitrogen-containing gas to the melt; and growing an n-type Group III nitride-based compound semiconductor crystal on a seed crystal from the melt. In the method, carbon and germanium are dissolved in the melt, and germanium is incorporated as a donor into the semiconductor crystal, to thereby produce an n-type semiconductor crystal.The mole percentage of germanium to gallium in the melt is 0.05 mol % to 0.5 mol %, and the mole percentage of carbon to sodium is 0.1 mol % to 3.0 mol %.

An object of the present invention is to effectively add Ge in the production of GaN through the Na flux method. In a crucible, a seed crystal substrate is placed such that one end of the substrate remains on the support base, whereby the seed crystal substrate remains tilted with respect to the bottom surface of the crucible, and gallium solid and germanium solid are placed in the space between the seed crystal substrate and the bottom surface of the crucible. Then, sodium solid is placed on the seed crystal substrate. Through employment of this arrangement, when a GaN crystal is grown on the seed crystal substrate through the Na flux method, germanium is dissolved in molten gallium before formation of a sodium-germanium alloy. Thus, the GaN crystal can be effectively doped with Ge.
