摘要:
Semiconductor light-emitting structures are shown on engineered substrates having a graded composition. The composition of the substrate may be graded to achieve a lattice constant on which a yellow-green light-emitting semiconductor material may be disposed. In some embodiments, the structure may be substantially free of aluminum.

A semiconductor-based device includes a channel layer, which includes a distal layer and a proximal layer in contact with the distal layer. The distal layer supports at least a portion of hole conduction for at least one p-channel component, and the proximal layer supports at least a portion of electron conduction for at least one n-channel component. The proximal layer has a thickness that permits a hole wave function to effectively extend from the proximal layer into the distal layer to facilitate hole conduction by the distal layer. A method for fabricating a semiconductor-based device includes providing a distal portion of a channel layer and providing a proximal portion of the channel layer.
