    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.

    摘要: A semiconductor light emitting device includes a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. The light emitting layer may be a wurtzite III-nitride layer with a thickness of at least 50 angstroms. The light emitting layer may have a polarization reversed from a conventional wurtzite III-nitride layer, such that across an interface between the light emitting layer and the p-type region, the wurtzite c-axis points toward the light emitting layer. Such an orientation of the c-axis may create a negative sheet charge at an interface within or at the edge of the p-type region, providing a barrier to charge carriers in the light emitting layer.

    摘要: The extraction efficiency of a light emitting device can be improved by making the absorbing device layers as thin as possible. The internal quantum efficiency decreases as the device layers become thinner. An optimal active layer thickness balances both effects. An AlGaInP LED includes a substrate and device layers including an AlGaInP lower confining layer of a first conductivity type, an AlGaInP active region of a second conductivity type, and an AlGaInP upper confining layer of a second conductivity type. The absorbance of the active region is at least one fifth of the total absorbance in the light-emitting device. The device optionally includes at least one set-back layers of AlGaInP interposing one of confining layer and active region. The p-type upper confining layer may be doped with oxygen improve the reliability.

    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.
