    摘要: 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%.

    摘要: LEDs employing a III-Nitride light emitting active region deposited on a base layer above a substrate show improved optical properties with the base layer grown on an intentionally misaligned substrate with a thickness greater than 3.5 &mgr;m. Improved brightness, improved quantum efficiency, and a reduction in the current at which maximum quantum efficiency occurs are among the improved optical properties resulting from use of a misaligned substrate and a thick base layer. Illustrative examples are given of misalignment angles in the range from 0.05° to 0.50°, and base layers in the range from 6.5 to 9.5 &mgr;m although larger values of both misalignment angle and base layer thickness can be used. In some cases, the use of thicker base layers provides sufficient structural support to allow the substrate to be removed from the device entirely.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a light emitting region, a p-type region disposed on a first side of the light emitting region, and an n-type region disposed on a second side of the light emitting region. At least 10% of a thickness of the semiconductor structure on the first side of the light emitting region comprises indium. Some examples of such a semiconductor light emitting device may be formed by growing an n-type region, growing a p-type region, and growing a light emitting layer disposed between the n-type region and the p-type region. The difference in temperature between the growth temperature of a part of the n-type region and the growth temperature of a part of the p-type region is at least 140° C.
