摘要:
A light emitting diode structure of (Al,Ga,In)N thin films grown on a gallium nitride (GaN) semipolar substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) that exhibits reduced droop. The device structure includes a quantum well (QW) active region of two or more periods, n-type superlattice layers (n-SLs) located below the QW active region, and p-type superlattice layers (p-SLs) above the QW active region. The present invention also encompasses a method of fabricating such a device.
摘要:
A light emitting diode having a vertical orientation with an ohmic contact on portions of a top surface of the diode and a reflective layer adjacent the light emitting region of the diode. This light emitting diode includes a confinement structure. The confinement structure may be an opening in the reflective layer generally beneath the top ohmic contact that defines a non-contact area between the reflective layer and the light emitting region of the diode to encourage current flow to take place other than at the non-contact area to in turn decrease the number of light emitting recombinations beneath the ohmic contact and increase the number of light emitting recombinations in the areas not beneath said ohmic contact. The LED may include roughened emitting surfaces to further enhance light extraction.
摘要:
A method of fabricating an (Al,Ga,In)N laser diode, comprising depositing one or more III-N layers upon a growth substrate at a first temperature, depositing an indium containing laser core at a second temperature upon layers deposited at a first temperature, and performing all subsequent fabrication steps under conditions that inhibit degradation of the laser core, wherein the conditions are a substantially lower temperature than the second temperature.

A high-power and high-efficiency light emitting device with emission wavelength (λpeak) ranging from 280 nm to 360 nm is fabricated. The new device structure uses non-polar or semi-polar AlInN and AlInGaN alloys grown on a non-polar or semi-polar bulk GaN substrate.
摘要:
A method for fabricating AlxGa1-xN-cladding-free nonpolar III-nitride based laser diodes or light emitting diodes. Due to the absence of polarization fields in the nonpolar crystal planes, these nonpolar devices have thick quantum wells that function as an optical waveguide to effectively confine the optical mode to the active region and eliminate the need for Al-containing waveguide cladding layers.
