    摘要: In one embodiment, an AlInGaP LED includes a bottom n-type layer, an active layer, a top p-type layer, and a thick n-type GaP layer over the top p-type layer. The thick n-type GaP layer is then subjected to an electrochemical etch process that causes the n-type GaP layer to become porous and light-diffusing. Electrical contact is made to the p-GaP layer under the porous n-GaP layer by providing metal-filled vias through the porous layer, or electrical contact is made through non-porous regions of the GaP layer between porous regions. The LED chip may be mounted on a submount with the porous n-GaP layer facing the submount surface. The pores and metal layer reflect and diffuse the light, which greatly increases the light output of the LED. Other embodiments of the LED structure are described.

    摘要: In a III-nitride light emitting device, a ternary or quaternary light emitting layer is configured to control the degree of phase separation. In some embodiments, the difference between the InN composition at any point in the light emitting layer and the average InN composition in the light emitting layer is less than 20%. In some embodiments, control of phase separation is accomplished by controlling the ratio of the lattice constant in a relaxed, free standing layer having the same composition as the light emitting layer to the lattice constant in a base region. For example, the ratio may be between about 1 and about 1.01.

    摘要: A light emitting device and a method of increasing the light output of the device utilize a chirped multi-well active region to increase the probability of radiative recombination of electrons and holes within the light emitting active layers of the active region by altering the electron and hole distribution profiles within the light emitting active layers of the active region (i.e., across the active region). The chirped multi-well active region produces a higher and more uniform distribution of electrons and holes throughout the active region of the device by substantially offsetting carrier diffusion effects caused by differences in electron and hole mobility by using complementary differences in layer thickness and/or layer composition within the active region. Thus, the chirped design of the multi-well active region increases the probability of radiative recombination of electrons and holes within the light emitting active layers of the active region, which results in an increased light output of the device. The multi-well active region of the device may be chirped with respect to light emitting active layers and/or barrier layers of the active region. The light emitting device may be a III-V material LED, a II-VI material LED, a polymer or organic LED, a laser diode or an optical amplifier.
