    Abstract: In a III-nitride light emitting device, the device layers including the light emitting layer are grown over a template designed to reduce strain in the device, in particular in the light emitting layer. Reducing the strain in the light emitting device may improve the performance of the device. The template may expand the lattice constant in the light emitting layer over the range of lattice constants available from conventional growth templates. Strain is defined as follows: a given layer has a bulk lattice constant abulk corresponding to a lattice constant of a free standing material of a same composition as that layer and an in-plane lattice constant ain-plane corresponding to a lattice constant of that layer as grown in the structure. The amount of strain in a layer is |(ain-plane−abulk)|/abulk. In some embodiments, the strain in the light emitting layer is less than 1%.

    Abstract: One or more regions of graded composition are included in a III-P light emitting device, to reduce the Vf associated with interfaces in the device. In accordance with embodiments of the invention, a semiconductor structure comprises a III-P light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. A graded region is disposed between the p-type region and a GaP window layer. The aluminum composition is graded in the graded region. The graded region may have a thickness of at least 150 nm. In some embodiments, in addition to or instead of a graded region between the p-type region and the GaP window layer, the aluminum composition is graded in a graded region disposed between an etch stop layer and the n-type region.

    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device includes a wurtzite III-nitride semiconductor structure including a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. A template layer and a dislocation bending layer are grown before the light emitting layer. The template layer is grown such that at least 70% of the dislocations in the template layer are edge dislocations. At least some of the edge dislocations in the template layer continue into the dislocation bending layer. The dislocation bending layer is grown to have a different magnitude of strain than the template layer. The change in strain at the interface between the template layer and the dislocation bending layer causes at least some of the edge dislocations in the template layer to bend to a different orientation in the dislocation bending layer. Semiconductor material grown above the bent edge dislocations may exhibit reduced strain.
