摘要:
A method of growing highly planar, fully transparent and specular m-plane gallium nitride (GaN) films. The method provides for a significant reduction in structural defect densities via a lateral overgrowth technique. High quality, uniform, thick m-plane GaN films are produced for use as substrates for polarization-free device growth.

摘要:
An optoelectronic device, comprising an active region and a waveguide structure to provide optical confinement of light emitted from the active region; a pair of facets on opposite ends of the device, having opposite surface polarity; and one of the facets which has been roughened by a crystallographic chemical etching process, wherein the device is a nonpolar or semipolar (Ga,In,Al,B)N based device.
摘要:
A light emitting device with a coupled quantum well structure in an active region. The coupled quantum well structure may include two or more wells are separated by one or more mini-barriers, and the wells and mini-barriers together are sandwiched by barriers. The coupled quantum well structure provides almost the same effect as a wide quantum well, due to the coupling of the wavefunctions through the mini-barrier. The light emitting device may be a nonpolar, semipolar or polar (Al,Ga,In)N based light emitting device.
摘要:
A method for improved growth of a semipolar (Al,In,Ga,B)N semiconductor thin film using an intentionally miscut substrate. Specifically, the method comprises intentionally miscutting a substrate, loading a substrate into a reactor, heating the substrate under a flow of nitrogen and/or hydrogen and/or ammonia, depositing an InxGa1−xN nucleation layer on the heated substrate, depositing a semipolar nitride semiconductor thin film on the InxGa1−xN nucleation layer, and cooling the substrate under a nitrogen overpressure.

摘要:
An off-axis cut of a nonpolar III-nitride wafer towards a polar (−c) orientation results in higher polarization ratios for light emission than wafers without such off-axis cuts. A 5° angle for an off-axis cut has been confirmed to provide the highest polarization ratio (0.9) than any other examined angles for off-axis cuts between 0 and 27°.
摘要:
A method for photoelectrochemical (PEC) etching of a p-type gallium nitride (GaN) layer of a heterostructure, comprising using an internal bias in a semiconductor structure to prevent electrons from reaching a surface of the p-type layer, and to promote holes reaching the surface of the p-type layer, wherein the semiconductor structure includes the p-type layer, an active layer for absorbing PEC illumination, and an n-type layer.
摘要:
A method of obtaining a hexagonal würtzite type epitaxial layer with a low impurity concentration of alkali-metal by using a hexagonal würtzite substrate possessing a higher impurity concentration of alkali-metal, wherein a surface of the substrate upon which the epitaxial layer is grown has a crystal plane which is different from the c-plane.
摘要:
An increase in the Indium (In) content in light-emitting layers of light-emitting diode (LED) structures prepared on nonpolar III-nitride substrates result in higher polarization ratios for light emission than LED structures containing lesser In content. Polarization ratios should be higher than 0.7 at wavelengths longer than 470 nm.
