    摘要: A method for fabricating a III-nitride based semiconductor device, including (a) growing one or more buffer layers on or above a semi-polar or non-polar GaN substrate, wherein the buffer layers are semi-polar or non-polar III-nitride buffer layers; and (b) doping the buffer layers so that a number of crystal defects in III-nitride device layers formed on or above the doped buffer layers is not higher than a number of crystal defects in III-nitride device layers formed on or above one or more undoped buffer layers. The doping can reduce or prevent formation of misfit dislocation lines and additional threading dislocations. The thickness and/or composition of the buffer layers can be such that the buffer layers have a thickness near or greater than their critical thickness for relaxation. In addition, one or more (AlInGaN) or III-nitride device layers can be formed on or above the buffer layers.

    摘要: A light emitting diode having a vertical orientation with an ohmic contact on portions of a top surface of the diode and a reflective layer adjacent the light emitting region of the diode. This light emitting diode includes a confinement structure. The confinement structure may be an opening in the reflective layer generally beneath the top ohmic contact that defines a non-contact area between the reflective layer and the light emitting region of the diode to encourage current flow to take place other than at the non-contact area to in turn decrease the number of light emitting recombinations beneath the ohmic contact and increase the number of light emitting recombinations in the areas not beneath said ohmic contact. The LED may include roughened emitting surfaces to further enhance light extraction.
