摘要： A system and method for manufacturing an LED is provided. A preferred embodiment includes a substrate with a distributed Bragg reflector formed over the substrate. A photonic crystal layer is formed over the distributed Bragg reflector to collimate the light that impinges upon the distributed Bragg reflector, thereby increasing the efficiency of the distributed Bragg reflector. A first contact layer, an active layer, and a second contact layer are preferably either formed over the photonic crystal layer or alternatively attached to the photonic crystal layer.

摘要： A light-emitting diode (LED) device is provided. The LED device has a lower LED layer and an upper LED layer with a light-emitting layer interposed therebetween. A current blocking layer is formed in the upper LED layer such that current passing between an electrode contacting the upper LED layer flows around the current blocking layer. When the current blocking layer is positioned between the electrode and the light-emitting layer, the light emitted by the light-emitting layer is not blocked by the electrode and the light efficiency is increased. The current blocking layer may be formed by converting a portion of the upper LED layer into a resistive region. In an embodiment, ions such as magnesium, carbon, or silicon are implanted into the upper LED layer to form the current blocking layer.

摘要： A semiconductor structure includes a substrate and a conductive carrier-tunneling layer over and contacting the substrate. The conductive carrier-tunneling layer includes first group-III nitride (III-nitride) layers having a first bandgap, wherein the first III-nitride layers have a thickness less than about 5 nm; and second III-nitride layers having a second bandgap lower than the first bandgap, wherein the first III-nitride layers and the second III-nitride layers are stacked in an alternating pattern. The semiconductor structure is free from a III-nitride layer between the substrate and the conductive carrier-tunneling layer.
