    摘要: A semiconductor device comprises an active region (4), a cladding layer (5,7), and a saturable absorbing layer (6) disposed within the cladding layer. The saturable absorbing layer comprises at least one portion (11a) that is absorbing for light emitted by the active region and comprises at least portion (11b) that is not absorbing for light emitted by the active region.The fabrication method of the invention enables the non-absorbing portion(s) (11b) of the saturable absorbing layer (6) to produced after the device structure has been fabricated. This allows the degree of overlap between the non-absorbing portion(s) (11b) of the saturable absorbing layer (6) and the optical mode of the laser to be altered after the device has been grown.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device comprises the steps of: growing an InxGa1-xN (0≦x≦1) layer, and growing an aluminium-containing nitride semiconductor layer over the InxGa1-xN layer at a growth temperature of at least 500° C. so as to form an electron gas region at an interface between the InxGa1-xN layer and the nitride semiconductor layer. The nitride semiconductor layer is then annealed at a temperature of at least 800° C. The method of the invention can provide an electron gas having a sheet carrier density of 6×1013cm−2 or greater. An electron gas with such a high sheet carrier concentration can be obtained with an aluminium-containing nitride semiconductor layer having a relatively low aluminium concentration, such as an aluminium mole fraction of 0.3 or below, and without the need to dope the aluminium-containing nitride semiconductor layer or the InxGa1-xN layer.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises depositing a semiconductor layer over a semiconductor surface having at least one first region with a first (average surface lattice) parameter value and at least one second region having a second parameter value different from the first. The semiconductor layer is deposited to a thickness so self-organised islands form over both the first and second regions. The difference in the parameter value means the islands over the first region have a first average parameter value and the islands over the second region have a second average parameter value different from the first. A capping layer is deposited over islands and has a greater forbidden bandgap than the islands whereby the islands form quantum dots, which have different properties over the first and second regions due to difference(s) between the first and second region islands.

    摘要: A method of forming a smooth, continuous compound semiconductor film, e.g., a GaN film, is provided. When a GaN film is formed in accordance with this method, Ga is caused to arrive at a sapphire substrate in accordance with a first arrival rate profile over a growth period during which the film is formed, and nitrogen is caused to arrive at the substrate in accordance with a second arrival rate profile over the growth period. The first and second arrival rate profiles are such that the Ga and N are caused to arrive simultaneoulsly at the substrate over the growth period and so that (i) during an initial part of the growth period, growth of the film takes place under a stoichiometric exccess of Ga and (ii) during a subsequent part of the growth period, growth of the film takes place under a stoichiometric excess of N.

    摘要: A nitride semiconductor device comprises: a layer structure including an active region (102) containing AlxGayIn1-x-yN quantum dots layers (102a), and means (104a,104b) for applying an electric field across the active region to modify the spin orientation of excitons in the quantum dots. The exciton spin lifetime at 300K is, for at least a range of values of the electric field applied across the active region, at least 1 ns, more preferably at least 10 ns, and particularly preferably at least 15 ns or 20 ns. These lifetimes may be obtained by configuring the device such that the exciton binding energy is, for at least a range of values of the electric field applied across the active region, 25 meV or greater.
