    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) grown on a substrate doped with one or more rare earth or transition elements. The dopant ions absorb some or all of the light from the LED's active layer, pumping the dopant ion electrons to a higher energy state. The electrons are naturally drawn to their equilibrium state and they emit light at a wavelength that depends on the type of dopant ion. The invention is particularly applicable to nitride based LEDs emitting UV light and grown on a sapphire substrate doped with chromium. The chromium ions absorb the UV light, exciting the electrons on ions to a higher energy state. When they return to their equilibrium state they emit red light and some of the red light will emit from the LED's surface. The LED can also have active layers that emit green, blue and UV light, such that the LED emits green, blue, red and UV light which combines to create white light. Alternatively, it can have one active layer and grown on a sapphire substrate doped with Cr, Ti, and Co such that the substrate absorbs the UV light and emits blue, green, and red light. The invention is also capable of providing a tunable LED over a variety of color shades. The invention is also applicable to solid state lasers having one or more active layers emitting UV light with the laser grown on a sapphire substrate doped with one or more rare earth of transition elements.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a p-type contact on a nonpolar or semipolar (Al,Ga,In)N device, includes the steps of growing a p-type layer on an (Al,Ga,In)N device, wherein the (Al,Ga,In)N device is a nonpolar or semipolar (Al,Ga,In)N device, and the p-type layer is a nonpolar or semipolar (Al,Ga,In)N layer; and cooling the p-type layer down, in the presence of Bis(Cyclopentadienyl)Magnesium (Cp2Mg), to form a magnesium-nitride (MgxNy) layer on the p-type layer. A metal deposition is performed to fabricate a p-type contact on the p-type layer of the (Al,Ga,In)N device, after the cooling step, wherein the p-type contact has a contact resistivity lower than a p-type contact of a polar (Al,Ga,In)N device with substantially similar composition. A hydrogen chloride (HCl) pre-treatment of the p-type layer may be performed, after the cooling step and before the metal deposition step.

    Abstract: Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) where the emission region, usually a (Al,In,Ga)N layer, is structured for efficient light extraction, are disclosed. The structuring is designed for light extraction from thin films, such as a photonic crystal acting as a diffraction grating. In addition, the structuring controls the in-plane emission and allows new modes into which light will be emitted. Various electrode designs are proposed, including ZnO structures which are known to lead to both excellent electrical properties, such as good carrier injection, and high transparency. Alternatively, the (Al,In,Ga)N layer can be replaced by structures with other materials compositions, in order to achieve efficient light extraction.
