    摘要: Methods of fabricating relaxed layers of semiconductor materials include forming structures of a semiconductor material overlying a layer of a compliant material, and subsequently altering a viscosity of the compliant material to reduce strain within the semiconductor material. The compliant material may be reflowed during deposition of a second layer of semiconductor material. The compliant material may be selected so that, as the second layer of semiconductor material is deposited, a viscosity of the compliant material is altered imparting relaxation of the structures. In some embodiments, the layer of semiconductor material may comprise a III-V type semiconductor material, such as, for example, indium gallium nitride. Methods of fabricating semiconductor structures and devices are also disclosed. Novel intermediate structures are formed during such methods. Engineered substrates include a plurality of structures comprising a semiconductor material disposed on a layer of material exhibiting a changeable viscosity.

    摘要: A III-nitride light emitting layer in a semiconductor light emitting device has a graded composition. The composition of the light emitting layer may be graded such that the change in the composition of a first element is at least 0.2% per angstrom of light emitting layer. Grading in the light emitting layer may reduce problems associated with polarization fields in the light emitting layer. The light emitting layer may be, for example InxGa1−xN, AlxGa1−xN, or InxAlyGa1−x−yN.

    摘要: A method for relaxing a layer of a strained material. The method includes depositing a first low-viscosity layer on a first face of a strained material layer; bonding a first substrate to the first low-viscosity layer to form a first composite structure; subjecting the composite structure to heat treatment sufficient to cause reflow of the first low-viscosity layer so as to at least partly relax the strained material layer; and applying a mechanical pressure to a second face of the strained material layer wherein the second face is opposite to the first face and with the mechanical pressure applied perpendicularly to the strained material layer during at least part of the heat treatment to relax the strained material.

    摘要: To increase the lattice constant of AlInGaP LED layers to greater than the lattice constant of GaAs for reduced temperature sensitivity, an engineered growth layer is formed over a substrate, where the growth layer has a lattice constant equal to or approximately equal to that of the desired AlInGaP layers. In one embodiment, a graded InGaAs or InGaP layer is grown over a GaAs substrate. The amount of indium is increased during growth of the layer such that the final lattice constant is equal to that of the desired AlInGaP active layer. In another embodiment, a very thin InGaP, InGaAs, or AlInGaP layer is grown on a GaAs substrate, where the InGaP, InGaAs, or AlInGaP layer is strained (compressed). The InGaP, InGaAs, or AlInGaP thin layer is then delaminated from the GaAs and relaxed, causing the lattice constant of the thin layer to increase to the lattice constant of the desired overlying AlInGaP LED layers. The LED layers are then grown over the thin InGaP, InGaAs, or AlInGaP layer.
