摘要:
An (Al, Ga, In)N light emitting device, such as a light emitting diode (LED), in which high light generation efficiency is realized by fabricating the device on non-polar or semi-polar III-Nitride crystal geometries. Because non-polar and semi-polar emitting devices have significantly lower piezoelectric effects than c-plane emitting devices, higher efficiency emitting devices at higher current densities can be realized.

摘要:
A method of reducing threading dislocation densities in non-polar such as a- {11-20} plane and m-{1-100} plane or semi-polar such as {10-1n} plane III-Nitrides by employing lateral epitaxial overgrowth from sidewalls of etched template material through a patterned mask. The method includes depositing a patterned mask on a template material such as a non-polar or semi polar GaN template, etching the template material down to various depths through openings in the mask, and growing non-polar or semi-polar III-Nitride by coalescing laterally from the tops of the sidewalls before the vertically growing material from the trench bottoms reaches the tops of the sidewalls. The coalesced features grow through the openings of the mask, and grow laterally over the dielectric mask until a fully coalesced continuous film is achieved.

摘要:
A III-nitride photovoltaic device structure and method for fabricating the III-nitride photovoltaic device that increases the light collection efficiency of the III-nitride photovoltaic device. The III-nitride photovoltaic device includes one or more III-nitride device layers, and the III-nitride photovoltaic device functions by collecting light that is incident on the back-side of the III-nitride device layers. The III-nitride device layers are grown on a substrate, wherein the III-nitride device layers are exposed when the substrate is removed and the exposed III-nitride device layers are then intentionally roughened to enhance their light collection efficiency. The collection of the incident light via the back-side of the device simplifies the fabrication of the multiple junctions in the device. The III-nitride photovoltaic device may include grid-like contacts, transparent or semi-transparent contacts, or reflective contacts.
摘要:
A method for growth and fabrication of semipolar (Ga, Al, In, B)N thin films, heterostructures, and devices, comprising identifying desired material properties for a particular device application, selecting a semipolar growth orientation based on the desired material properties, selecting a suitable substrate for growth of the selected semipolar growth orientation, growing a planar semipolar (Ga, Al, In, B)N template or nucleation layer on the substrate, and growing the semipolar (Ga, Al, In, B)N thin films, heterostructures or devices on the planar semipolar (Ga, Al, In, B)N template or nucleation layer. The method results in a large area of the semipolar (Ga, Al, In, B)N thin films, heterostructures, and devices being parallel to the substrate surface.
